  Opus 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  I think the idea within this movie was pretty cool. Yea, it’s a pretty typical cult situation, but it’s a little different. Moretti isn’t a typical cult leader.

He is misunderstood and in need of help, but nobody seems to get that (either due to their ignorance or to Killian’s defensiveness). Then, on top of all of this, he must constantly work on his figure for bodybuilder competitions. This movie really showed the bleakness and dull pain of life, but it didn’t leave us without hope in that harsh wasteland.

Awesome costume designs and effects too, even if they did make me feel a little sick (which was…
