Past Lives 2023
"What if this is a past life as well, and we are already something else to each other in our next life? Who do you think we are then?"
Intensely intimate in a way that is unbelievably huge. A description like that feels rather inevitable for a film that details the huge 'what ifs' of love, but Past Lives holds a crown.
With a tight script of contemplative dialogue (that Greta Lee and Teo Yoo add so much depth to),…

Glass Onion 2022
It may be slightly weighed down by a slough of cultural references in the first act, but that detracts very little from this hilarious, well-crafted whodunnit that, as expected, doubles as a take down of new money and the insufferable rich.
I'm not sure this tops the original but even so, Rian Johnson is two for two with his whodunnit adventures. I'm excited to return in three years.

Saltburn 2023
Saltburn is pretty immediately captivating on all levels, from the camera and lighting to the performances (Keoghan and Pike are so stellar.)
Fennell's direction is great too, and her writing is far better than it was in Promising Young Woman (note: I didn't like that) because this time you can tell she understands the world she's writing.
I'll totally be rewatching this, because sometimes all cinema needs is dark comedy with an unhinged little freak.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
Aside from everything here being truly phenomenal, somehow topping even it's predecessor, it is incredibly important to me how unsubtle Gwen's story is as a trans-allegory. I'm genuinely tearing up thinking about it.
