The Banshees of Inisherin 2022
- It takes two to tango.

Well, this snuck up on me.
On first watch, it occupied the same sort of space as The Favourite, where I found myself intellectualising its dynamics rather than truly feeling the weight of each turn.
On rewatch, as with The Favourite, this hit. This film exposes human pettiness with chilling accuracy. It can be applied to both broad conflicts like…

The Irishman 2019
When I was young, I thought house painters painted houses.
Absolutely electric and devastating film. Scorsese condenses (yes, condenses - it flew by this time) decades of American history into a stylish and poignant drama.

This issue is exacerbated by the dialogue, which is so insanely expository and delivered in the same sad and traumatised voice by De Armas. It goes without…

Saltburn 2023
Damn, I really had hope for this. That's the worst kind of movie, the one that starts out promising. The cast are great, I laughed a lot of times towards the beginning and found myself, on the whole, engaged.
But then the film never builds past its mysterious foundations. Oliver stays mysterious, and that absolutely does not work when you are trying to invest an audience in his increasingly provocative behaviour (which felt purposeless without many actual character traits with…
