    Solid, inventive, sleek sci-fi action flick. Much better than it has any right to be. Extremely convincing physical acting by Logan Marshall-Green. Highly recommend!

    Civil War

    ★★★★

    A harrowing, thoughtful, but sometimes muddled introspection on war, politics, and the absurdity of it all.

    I really enjoyed this film, and its approach to war through journalism, which was a novel and refreshing angle. The ending had some serious plausibility issues.

    Overall, a worthwhile film that wisely sidesteps some of the political binaries that current viewers are keen to impose on it.

    ★★★★½

    An astounding, bittersweet, heartrending love story. Spike Jonze’s arrestingly honest film is sincere and unashamed in the most vulnerable of ways. A tidal wave of nostalgia, sadness, loneliness, and beauty. A singular experience, and in the author’s opinion, Joaquin Phoenix’s best work. This film celebrates and uplifts life. What a brilliant piece of art.
