Continues my weird relationship with Hitchcock, where I really appreciate his filmmaking and am consistently learning new things with every film of his. His use POV here is incredibly effective, reminded of something he does in North by Northwest. It got me into the shoes of the character helped me understand his deep anxiety, however I always struggle to fully engross myself into the story, and I haven’t really figured out why. But it happens with almost all of his films.

A Real Pain 2024
Loved it, reminded me of classic neorealism films like a journey to Italy in the best way. I really want more movies like this. A generally simple plot rich with characters, meaningful locations, and fantastic performances.

Napoleon 2023
Without a doubt one of the movies I’ve seen this year!
There are many notable parts, it’s always fun to see Joaquin Phoenix and Vanesa Kirby, the film is often stunning and Scott really does bring it as a director, you only ever get movies of such precision and quality from established legends like Scorsese and Nolan, and this is no different in that regard. The script and whole story structure was really ineffective at points, I don’t have strong thoughts as I never really felt much of anything.
