  It took me an hour to remember/ realise this was the Director of The Florida Project, and therefore I could give it the chance to go somewhere. Feels like that + a hefty dose of Uncut Gems frantic energy.

  He's good at endings. He's good at long periods of almost boringly mundane action, then sudden moments of realisation. He gets the best from actors. The length and nudity of the first half makes sense once you get to the end of the film.

  The Penguin 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Nov 2024

  Phenomenal. Depth of character, thematically consistent, beautiful to watch and somehow acted both with insane subtlety and gleeful OTT NOOO YOIK abandon. Perfect.
