    Valentine's edition, woohoo! Anyway, very standard romcom, very unrealistic depiction of love, I honestly don't have too much to say about it because it was a comfort watch. Hugh Grant always bring charisma though, and ending was beautiful, very fairytale-like. Watch it if you're looking for a romcom and you don't have anything better to watch.

    Ps half a bonus point because the beginning was used in one of my classes as a perfect example of character establishment

    I'm keeping this one short because most that has to be said about this movie has been said: amazing cinematography (Villeneuve-core), thought provoking story, very unique take on the alien-genre. Definitely watch it, but do it when you're feeling vulnerable. Only then can you appreciate the emotional core of it all.

    If there is one person who always pulls artsy horror off, it's Robert Eggers! What a fantastic movie to end the year! Cinematography-wise, I was blown away: there are certain scenes, I won't spoil which ones, that belong in an art book. Add to that the gloomy, gothic atmosphere, the incredible performances and the interesting backstory of Ellen (which is apparently expanded from the original), and you have yourself an instant horror classic. Definitely a must-watch.
