Mickey 17 2025
40 years after the release of Terry Gilliam's 1985 masterpiece BRAZIL, Bong Joon Ho's MICKEY 17 has captured the same satirical mishmash of dark comedy, romance, science fiction, and expressionistic fantasy. It still has his anti-captialist DNA running through it's veins but like each of the many Mickeys in the film, it feels unique. It's certainly a descendent of SNOWPIERCER and OKJA but somehow feels slightly less cynical. The absurdist world he creates, filled with caricatures of people and cgi monsters, is oddly grounded by moments of humanity that brought me to tears. This will be my most watched movie of 2025.

Nosferatu 2024
The Eggers brand is always unmistakable. The auteur's dedication to meticulously crafted production design, costumes, and writing give his films a patina of authenticity, no matter what era they take place. NOSFERATU is equally as enveloping but is it the next great chapter in his stellar early filmography?
I'm uncertain.
The tone, imagery, and performances are all exquisite and the film is undeniably an Eggers project, but I'm not sure it ever feels as tactile as his first 3 films.…
