The Player 1992
a deliciously cynical hollywood satire with SO many great gags, and where every beat of the story hits in an equally smart and unexpected way. on a shallower note: catnip for annoying people who love celeb cameos.

Emilia Pérez 2024
nightmarishly offensive AND the songs are terrible. a dazzling jewel in the crown of godawful awards season darlings. i will simply never be able to plumb the depths of the average Oscar voter's brain.

Saltburn 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
barry keoghan makes such an unconvincing 18-year-old that i kept wondering if his character would turn out to be a 30-year-old scammer. regrettably that's only the tenth worst detail in this infuriatingly stupid Wattpad edition of The Talented Mr Ripley, filmed like a faux-vintage Abercrombie commercial.
the main thing Saltburn says about the british class system is that if you're posh and well-connected, you can attract a ton of money, brilliant actors and undeserved buzz for your half-baked nonsense, while more talented filmmakers continue to languish in obscurity.Translated from by -
Poor Things 2023
Yorgos Lanthimos made an Emerald Fennell movie that thinks it's a David Cronenberg movie.
Five star rating for costumes and production design; one star for thoughts and ideas.
