    Messing with the original mean girls to make this terrible remake should be a criminal offence

    Moon

    ★★★½

    with a familiar but overall appealing storyline, moon is an enjoyable dive into a futuristic vision of human labor. presenting us with some moral themes, this film raises questions about not only what it means to be human but also the cost of being one.
    the directing is fine and the production design works really well (the shots of the moon in contrast with the starry sky create a black and white effect and really serve us some beautiful cinematography). frankly, without sam rockwell's riveting performance this movie would've been mediocre.
    also that a.i. was surprisingly likable

    The Father

    ★★★★½

    from its heartbreaking subject matter to anthony hopkins' compelling performance this film feels inevitably personal to a large portion of its viewers. opting for a lack of cohesion inbetween sequences may seem unusual considering the film's purely dramatic nature, but being so well-done, it ultimately engrosses the audience into the obscure reality of memory loss.
    having been based on a play, the film is simple and grounded stylisticly but at the same time prodigious thanks to anthony hopkins' and olivia colman's performances.
