  Stillwater 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Jul 2021

  I thought this movie was fantastic. Truly shocked by this film. This film won’t blow your hair back with any specific scenes or thrilling moments, but the film is just really solid.

  There is honestly not much to critique with this movie other than the fact that nothing has you on the edge of your seat. But that’s okay, not every good movie can be expected to do so.

  Blue Ruin 2013

  The acting: impeccable. The plot: superb. The details: exquisite.
