  Heretic 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  I gave this an extra half-star because of the performances! Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East give really captivating and empathetic performances. I know the whole point of the movie was that they were trapped in Hugh Grant's house, but I really thought the first 15 minutes before they made it there were really strong. Even the first conversation with Mr. Read (played by Hugh Grant, who also gives a great performance) was super engaging and interesting. The movie starts to meander after the first forty minutes, though, and it kind of lost me.

  The Matrix Resurrections 2021

  ★★★★ Rewatched 17 Mar 2025

  I love the sense of hope and humanity in all of THE MATRIX movies. The Wachowski sisters are brilliant! These are all just such incredible films. From the production design to the sunglasses to the philosophical questions they ask their audience, they’ve got it all!

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Jan 2025

  It feels weird to give this film less than 4 stars because of the amount of care that went into crafting the story and all the visuals. The cinematography really is stunning and so captivating at times, especially in the first hour of the film. The energy you feel in the first 25 minutes or so is just electric! While there were moments that captured that same energy in the second half, I do feel that the story lost momentum…
