    Babylon

    ★★★★½

    A three-hour, cocaine-fueled fever dream where Hollywood eats itself, spits out the bones, and calls it art. Hollywood’s rise and fall told through jazz, drugs, and absolute chaos. It’s beautiful, exhausting, chaotic, excessive, messy as hell and somehow perfect. Just like the industry it dissects. 
    If Whiplash was obsession and La La Land was chasing dreams, Babylon is the industry waking up hungover, covered in its own mess, and still pretending it’s glamorous.
    “A Flawed Masterpiece”, but what’s Hollywood if not beautifully flawed?

    Pretentious? Sure. Insane? Absolutely. 
    Director’s resume: Nolan’s bastard child meets Villeneuve’s Pinterest board.

    The Iron Claw

    ★★★★½

    Film is a funeral for the family myth.The film doesn’t dramatize tragedy, it dissects the rot of conditional love. Fathers demand legacies; sons bury theirs in silence. Wrestling is just the ring; the real fight is surviving the suffocating grip of "making them proud."
    Efron’s final scene? A howl swallowed by the void. Devastating because it’s true: bones break long before spirits do.
    A masterpiece of quiet annihilation.
