  Us 2019

  ★★★★½ Watched 30 Aug 2022

  On the rewatch, incredible. After some years and watching Nope, I’m able to fully appreciate it for what it is, over comparing it Get Out as if it’s even attempting to be the same thing.

  Ichi the Killer 2001

  Watched 10 Oct 2021

  Some of this is hilarious, a lot of this is vile, and I don’t really know what to do with it. Visually, it’s a lot of what I like, grungy shots of shady characters moving through cityscapes but there wasn’t quiet enough characterisation in there to ever really humanise most of the central cast.

  It’s ambitious, it’s messy, It’s twisted, and while successful in what it was shooting for, I can’t quite say it’s for me.
