  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  With so many dud biopics released in recent years it's satisfying to see it done right. The supporting cast and historical background are interesting and thoughtfully included. Though some sequences, like Dylan's girlfriend gazing at him tearfully as he performs, or Woody Guthrie passing the torch of folk, are exasperatingly repeated over and over again.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 10 Jan 2025

  Left me feeling raw, in a good way. Culkin is genuinely funny. People complain that Jesse Eisenberg plays the same character in every film but if the film is good then it's a moot point.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Jan 2025

  First half is artfuly melodramatic with every frame a painting, bizarre characters and uncanny dialogue. Unfortunately the creative juice peters out as the film progresses into too much walking and talking
