    Groundhog Day

    ★★★★

    This has been on my Watchlist for like forever and I am so relieved to have finally seen it! It really lives up to its praise. What weirds me out though is how sympathetic of a man Bill Murray is just based on his appearance, while at the same time playing characters like Phil.

    Aren't You Happy? might be the most artistic film I have ever watched. It is highly ambitious in its attempts to…

    Light of My Life

    ★★★★½

    Light of my Life reminded me a lot of Children of Men, one of my all time favorites, as well as Manchester by the Sea. It tells a pretty simple story about parenthood but confronts it with a postapocalyptic world. Casey Affleck's character is scared that his daughter might be taken away from him when other people find out about her identity, since a devastating virus has killed off all female population a while ago. Therefore he seeks exile in…
