  This is not just a remarkable horror. This is a fantastic movie. One of the best character building event of the year and absolutely the greatest lead performance in 2024.

  Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 20 Sep 2024

  LET THE DEAD GO AND VALUE THE LIVING.

  Although a little overcrowded with ideas and parallel storylines, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a masterful legacy sequel with tons of dark and creative fun, an excellent cast - Justin Theroux steals the show -, and a simple but powerful message. A visually stunning best of compilation of Tim Burton’s genius.

  Death as an act of creation.

  Darren Aronofsky’s most unique film and one of history’s most beautiful movies tells a multiply interwoven tale about the emotions, ideas and instincts that are inherited through ages, lives, fact and fiction. Thus they are infinite. They never die. They are the cure for death.

  Cloud Atlas told a very similar story later, and maybe The Fountain is not that grandiose, but much deeper and definitely more cathartic.
