  No Other Land 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Feb 2025

  Absolutely brilliant and devastating, possibly the best documentary I've ever watched. Its exploration of the Israeli apartheid was super informative, with details like the different car plates, the denial of building licences to Palestinians and the tacit government support for the ultraviolent settler thugs. The dynamic between Yuval and Basel was also so interesting in exposing the vast differences between the life enjoyed by Israeli and the oppression suffered by the Palestinians. I would highly highly recommend this film.

  the juvenile humour in this movie really appealed to me and I can definitely relate to the incessant swearing. This depiction of the angst and confusion of the early teenage years is touching and poignant. most of all, it makes me laugh.

  Blade Runner 2049 is a stunning movie that I love. I love the visuals, the sound and production design, the screenplay and, most importantly, the acting.

Everyone can relate to feeling as though you are unimportant in the grand scale of the universe, and we often delude ourselves into believing…
