Mickey 17 2025
I am constantly impressed by Robert Pattinson’s ability to act. Not sure if I’ve ever seen someone contort their voice in the way that he does, much less play essentially two different characters throughout an entire film.
Mickey 17 has some glaringly obvious themes and stands as an allegory for the working class, specifically the relationship between a working class man and a corporation. Although this seems heavy handed, the film handles it with a fair amount of gravitas and…

A truly absurdist take on the heist genre. This film will focus on the most mundane concepts and easily gloss over the “badass” elements of a heist. The storytelling is deliberately paced and the cinematography is gorgeous at times (especially the shot of Adam Driver sleeping in the prison). I don’t really have any complaints about the film other than it completely sets its own vibe and you’re either in or you’re out. I’m kinda expecting soderbergh to show up in the papers as some grand theft at this point because the heist in this film was so iron-tight.

Okay now that I’ve got that out of the way: this film seems more of a survey than anything else. I know that Eggers can do emotion, I’ve seen every single one of his films and they all have at least some moment of gravitas and emotional depth, but this one just couldn’t crack that for me. The cinematography was classic Robert Eggers but left a little more to be desired (he’s an obsessive period piece filmmaker who loves…
