  Pearl 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Jan 2025

  This gore ridden horror jumps between the fantastical and the down right demented. And Mia Goth is extremely convincing in her star turn. I liked it but didn’t love it.

  The Zone of Interest 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 03 Feb 2024 1

  Gripping cinema that’s not afraid to unsettle its audience. This film is astonishingly unique - like no other film I’ve seen. Glazer’s portrayal of the carefully managed bureaucracy of genocide is deeply disturbing and aided by an industrious and dark soundscape. The seemingly calm (perhaps relatable) domesticity forces us to question how our current hurtling towards totalitarianism manifests itself.
