The Last Showgirl 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
The Last Showgirl's conflict is very hard-hitting and concrete despite its simplicity (in terms of relaying it to the audience).

Hello, Love, Again 2024
I don't know who but I think someone great left the writers room. The first movie's script moved me even though it had its cliche lines, but Hello, Love, Again felt a hundred times worse. The only gripping scenes were the lead up to Joy and Ethan's break up (and the actual breakup). After that, it fell apart and not in a good way.

Transformers One 2024
Though there is nothing wrong with enjoying movies for the sake of their hilarity, there is also something great with anticipating hilarity and getting gob-smacked by surprising depth and sincerity. I did not expect this movie about sentient transforming trucks to tackle class consciousness and labor laws, but apparently it did! And that made it all the more special. In a time wherein dark, "serious" films mishandle complex themes with centrist writing, Transformers One redefines complexity by presenting an accessible narrative of good versus evil without spoon-feeding which is black and which is white to viewers. On a less serious note, robot yaoi.
