  Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood 2019

  ★★ Watched 21 Aug 2019

  What a turd of a movie. If it wasn't for the cast I would have fallen asleep.
  It was very gratuitous and unnecessary to have so many feet shots but really the only woman with interesting dialogue was the child.
  Tarantino obviously hasn't heard of drafting scripts before you make them. How about a plot? Please.
  2 hours and 45 mins you have to be shitting me. Do we really need that many travelling shots? Film would have just as…

  Maestro 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Dec 2023

  I found this movie had really powerful moments and artistic ideas even though it could only scratch the surface of such a complex life.
  There were some scenes so nuanced and full of life that I was in awe.
  The performances are just so excellent I couldn't look away. Really we've never seen Bradley Cooper or Carey Mulligan like this.
