  Stop Making Sense 1984

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 Sep 2023

  Saw the A24 anniversary release in IMAX. It’s still my favorite concert film ever. A director approaching his peak catching a band at the height of its powers. The IMAX presentation is amazing. If you can experience it in IMAX you should.

  For a while I’ve been told that this is a special film. I finally saw it today and it’s an absolute delight. A magical little movie that is nearly flawless. It’s joyful, adorable and at times heartbreaking but every joke is well done and every emotional moment feels genuine. The animation of Paddington in the real world is also very well done.

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Jul 2023

  Saw it in IMAX. Visually stunning and equally impressive audio wise. Maybe the best sound designed films I’ve ever experienced. Definitely worth paying extra for the IMAX. 

  Great to see Robert Downey Jr. getting into a proper dramatic role in a major film. He and Cillian Murphy should get a bunch of award nominations.
