    Cute idea fun little creatures, but greatly hampered by its realistic art style which, however much money you throw at it, produces an uncanny-valley effect. Stylize, people, stylize! Or else you will look like a ps3 cutscene

    Bloodborne the Movie

    The emergence of bourgeoisie civilization overshadows feudal old Europe (castles become commodities). The flowering of science and reason cannot protect modern man from the dark energies and desires that underlie the human animal. And then Nosferatu shows up and fucks on everyone crazy style

    Very beautiful, great performances, but felt lacking in content. Box-ticking the requirements for a “great movie” but without personal touch. The most enjoyable reading i have is “architecture-as-cinema,” where every critique of the movie can be turned around with “yes, but that’s true of the fuck-ass concrete building too.” Maybe every bad thing was on purpose!

    I think i agree with other critics that the treatment of zionism is strategically ambiguous. Which feels absolutely inadequate for the moment. Zone of Interest did it better.
