    Insane that in a movie filled with masterful performances like the ones given by Dafoe, Skarsgard, Depp, Hoult, and Ineson, you also get a performance like that one phoned in by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. But outside of that, Robert Eggers is firing on all cylinders. The set design, costuming, makeup effects, score, cinematography. All so incredible. And I loved how they fleshed out the story and really leaned into the occult aspect of things. It worked so well.

    Watching this alongside a toddler who has probably seen this 100 times this year alone but still giggles in delight when Totoro is on screen like it’s the first time she’s watching it proves how great of a filmmaker Miyazaki is. Truly one of the best, and I have so much appreciation for him and new found appreciation through watching this movie through the eyes of an enamored toddler.

    Ummm how was this my favorite movie of the year? The score, the performances, the action, the cinematography. Everything just hit so perfectly. Also Godzilla Atomic Breath is the coldest thing in cinema history.

    What a shit show. There’s like not much more to add to this review. The action wasn’t even fun or exciting. Just bland all around. Would have been better if it was a movie of Jason Statham making honey.
