    This holds up amazingly well. I get why Greta Gerwig’s moved onto different and bigger projects because how do you top this? But I hope she returns to directing these smaller, intricate stories again someday because she’s so damn good at it.

    I can’t claim to have followed the entire plot but it was damn provocative!

    Godzilla Minus One

    ★★★★

    Biggest pleasant surprise movie of 2023? So much to like about this one, including:

    -Godzilla destroying everything
    -Civilians combatting Godzilla by land sea and air
    -Fantastic period appropriate Japanese workwear
    -The timeless Godzilla theme music (of course) and more great sound design
    -A classic yet satisfying redemption narrative for the protagonist paired with a touching conclusion to a genuinely moving family drama subplot
    -The professor, who was so cool and had perfect hair

    Godzilla Minus One kind of had it all? Great flick.

    My head’s ringing and my muscles are tense. I kind of think this was a good movie? At least in terms of accomplishing what it sets out to do. Or maybe it just made me really stressed. Either way I won’t be revisiting lol
