  • Nosferatu

    Nosferatu

    ★★★★½

    Nosferatu has it all—horny dreams, vampire peen, and outstanding contributions from the costume and production design teams. 

    Eggers and Blaschke truly outdid themselves with this film, and Eggers' vision is on full display in his attention to detail throughout. It’s not perfect by any means, but he delivered a rich, atmospheric, and foreboding reimagining of the original narrative, which I consider to be its primary strength.

    Nosferatu serves as a love letter to the horror genre that will stand tall among its predecessors and future contributions alike.

  • Conclave

    Conclave

    ★★★★½

    Real Housewives of Vatican City, but they’re all married to God. Yes, it’s PG, but that doesn’t stop the College of Cardinals from delivering nonstop, backstabbing DRAMA. If you’re curious to see what a group of men in dresses do behind closed doors, Conclave is the movie for you.

    Black Bag

    ★★★★½

    Black Bag combines two of my favorite things: the thrill of a tightly crafted 90-minute film and Cate Blanchett.

  • Mickey 17

    Mickey 17

    ★★★★

    A satirical, albeit grim reminder that our current political majority treats large groups of people as disposable.

    Mickey 17 isn’t perfect, but it’s a fun, satisfying movie that truly shines when it embraces its unhinged comedic side.

    Anatomy of a Fall

    ★★★★★

    This is going to stick with me for a long time.

    It’s absolutely riveting in its simplicity. I went in expecting a whodunit-esque courtroom thriller and was met with a delicate, engaging drama that was so well crafted it fell like real lives were at stake.

    It’s nuanced and exquisitely layered because at its core, it’s about the complexity of life and the lines we blur between fiction and reality.

    Past Lives

    ★★★★★

    A beautiful and deceptively layered film that explores the ‘what if’s’ of life. I’m crushed that I didn’t get to see this sooner.
