  A Difficult Year 2023

  ★ Rewatched 27 Dec 2023

  The Person who made this movie is either too ignorant to understand climate activists as anything different then naive weirdos or actively hates them. 1/2 Star for the chemistry between the two dudes and 1/2 Star for their comedic timing.

  Barbarian 2022

  ★★★ Watched 17 Feb 2023

  So scary, intense and surprising for a good amount of the time, but then crashes in the very last moments, which make it feel like a loveless, formulatic exercise in filmmaking

  The Lost Daughter 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Feb 2022

  intense movie that somehow manages to get as close as possible to the protagonists subjective experience and perception while at the same time incorporating the impossibility to fully grasp another self. Olivia Coleman is phenomenal and so is dakota johnson, both transporting a feeling of disassociation and need for being comprehended. Some other characters fall flat a bit and the story telling at times is a bit on the nose, but this was one of my best (uncomfortable and somewhat disturbing) cinematic experience of last year and I highly recommend it.

  Night Raiders 2021

  ★★ Watched 17 Jun 2021

  The idea of translating a truly horrifying piece of history into a sci fi scenario was promising, but it sadly didn't work out, the setting fell flat, so did the characters and the pace didn't work for me either. The better scenes were the ones taking place in the resistance camp, depicting the culture, language and approach on life of the indigenous people rather carefully and detailed. But while the themes, intentions and ideas were clearly visible it didn't really come together.
