A film about how we relegate our suffering through the convenience of modern comfort and create frictionless lives for ourselves because we've all become afraid of conflict and having to deal with the weight of our ultimately meaningless existences. Somewhat ironic then that this felt glossy and emotionally frictionless in exactly that same way. Unmoved.

The Brutalist 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Yes, looks and sounds great, features some fine performances, even if Adrien Brody's accent appeared to change about 3 times.
It is worth noting that Brady Corbet is not Jewish which the more I reflect on it makes me feel queasy about the way he uses the holocaust as just a narrative device. Apparently his next film is about the Chinese immigrant experience, I suspect that this conversation won't dissappear anytime soon.
Why make an epic, giving yourself a luxurious…

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl 2024
Wallace not recognising Feathers McGraw until he takes the glove off his head is just as funny the second time around.
