  The Killing 1956

  ★★½ Watched 12 Sep 2024

  This "Killing" film...it's like staring into a dirty mirror. You see a reflection, but it's warped, twisted. This isn't a world of good and evil, no, it's a world of gray. So much gray.

  The Tragedy of Macbeth 2021

  ★★★½ Added

  The Tragedy of Macbeth has a few lulls, but the payoff is worth it. Viewers will find the black and white enthralling as long as they give it time to develop.
