    Obviously I’m here because of The Substance. I love going back to debut films of directors who are becoming, or have become, a household name. 

    Coralie will be a household name and is one of my favorite rising stars. She’s stylistic, bold, and delivers hauntingly entertaining cinema. I’m a major fan.

    Revenge is a solid entry and shows flashes of artistic brilliance (and brutality) throughout. Coralie sure loves blood and guts, huh? And close ups of people chewing on food. Well done!

    The Return is triumphantly bizarre, hilarious, and down right AWESOME.

    Thank you Mr. Jackpots!!!!!

    I wanted to love this but I felt like it fell flat. 

    While a commendable attempt (monologues and flashbacks are never particularly easy) at something profound, the buildup lacks and seems to hit a wall.

    We only go so far in this one. Parasite is leaps and bounds better than this film, but is still worth a watch imo.

    Enjoyable monster fights. Terribly dumb storyline, acting, etc. It is what it is!
