    Any little tweaks I could ask for here and there are irrelevant to how enjoyable it is to watch such a complete film. Excellent tension and touches of absurdism.

    ★★★

    For a film that’s pacing leaned on the audience caring about the characters, despite visually lingering with them it didn’t give the talented actors enough material to make them live and breathe.  Awesome aesthetic and excellent concept kept me fascinated to the end. (More films like this but moreso, please.)

    Speak No Evil

    A reactionary Danish fantasy about how modern Emasculated Schlubs who are civil to women and children will get dominated by Sexy Tradmascs.

    The title refers to how being “politically correct” will, in the terrified eyes of the director, bring about the fall of Western Civilization.

    Would have worked great as a black comedy, but here we run into the problem the director isn’t laughing but instead living in some sort of genuine terror his masculinity will fall off.

    A thoroughly enjoyable romp. Once of the best Holmes screen adaptations I've seen, capturing the action and momentum as well as the humor of the novel.
