  Saltburn 2023

  ★★★ Watched 01 Jan 2024

  Always a sucker for a 4:3 ratio (or very similar). 

  Story was a bit drawn out at some parts, a lot of parts for shock value, but overall enjoyable. Something to watch with a group or to play again for fun

  Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People 2014

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Jan 2021

  An interesting and educational take on the movement surrounding black photographers. Great historical references on how the practice of photography itself has been reclaimed and used to the advantage by the people that were originally supposed to be the ones adversely affected by the camera and the white gaze.
  Me being shallow though I thought the production/budget could have been better, it felt like a pbs special lmao. But very enlightening! Many legends are included

  It Comes at Night 2017

  ★★★ Watched 30 Nov 2020

  Beautiful cinematography, interesting(?) plot, but very predictable. It was an interesting examination of people and their “tribes”, their relationships with the ones closest to them versus the “other”. 
  It could have been a bit stronger though
