  The Iron Claw 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 07 Feb 2025

  Wowee, was not expecting that to be as effective as it was. Going from ‘hehe Zac Efron looks funny and different’ to ZAC HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, what a performance by the whole cast but especially him. Great work, the dangers of toxic masculinity and writing your own storyline

  Maestro 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Jan 2024

  Is this a vanity project for Bradley Cooper? Maybe.
  Is his performance the best in the film? No, courtesy of Carey Mulligan.
  Is it still great? I reckon so.

  Yes, they chose to focus on Bernstein’s marriage more than doing a typical biopic focussing on his career, cultural impact, etc.

  But it felt authentic, and questioning, and complex. The cinematography was fantastic, the dialogue felt real, if maybe a little messy, and of course the music is brilliant. Ely Cathedral…

  Really stylish and powerful drama around Medieval monarchy with a fantastic recreation of the Battle of Agincourt. Shoutout to Robert Pattinson’s French accent and the beautiful score by Nicholas Brittel
