  Knives Out 2019

  ★★★ Watched 14 Jul 2021 2

  This made me come back to letterbox because I’m up in the air about this one. Was rated 97% on rotten tomatoes but after watching it I just think it seriously lacks the ingenuity and wow factor to be placed in such rarefied air. Was a murder mystery but not, there was a twist but it just wasn’t that big of a twist. Maybe I’m getting older, maybe movies are getting worse, but it feels like nothing these days hits quite like that first time I watched shawshank redemption. Those were the days, it’s good to be back.

  Mosul 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Dec 2020

  Not usually one to like war movies but this one was different. Was in Arabic so watched with subtitles but I feel that made the movie seem much more realistic. Was an interesting portrayal/insight into modern day war, worth a watch.

  Watched this again and wasn't as good as I remembered, good movie but super strange. Fantastic acting by Leo as per. Have taken a star off 4/5.
