  Sorcerer 1977

  ★★★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Friedkin’s damnation is the illusion of free choice and hell on earth is believing fate as a malleable form, purgatory. I love how disarmingly frank everything unfolds, no foreshadowing or mystery, every road leads to the inevitable consequences of our own actions. All we can do is dance in the face of tragedy, which despite its bleakness, its kinda bittersweet and life affirming at the same time.

  A masterclass of cinematic tension, easily being the most stress I’ve sat through…

  Queer 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Jan 2025

  A tragically lonely vision of desire, shame and unsynchronized love. Equivalent to watching a polaroid that never finished developing, an unfinished painting, forever longing. Equal parts tender and devastating, finding solace while craving for a transcendent human connection and through cyclical acts of self-destruction. To still look away in the doorway of possibility only to grieve till passing… real.

  The Apprentice 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Oct 2024

  What I love about this film is that in its attempt to humanize Trump, it never excuses or justifies his actions, nor does it cover up the immoral makeup he's curated for himself. Interesting insights and reflection on starving power dynamics, the making of a political monster and the influential individuals, ideologies and systems that uphold and reward this behavior.

  While all of this is great, it's not entirely something we don’t already know. I just wished the film continued…
