‘Who cares if we don’t see the sunshine again? I want you more than any blue sky?’
A wonderful piece of the Makoto Shinkai canon. A buoyant, yet tacitly adult romance adventure with his trademark skyfall scene.
Animating rainfall is such a choice, atmospheric effect. Here, it works swimmingly.
‘She Collapsed the Night’
A strange blend of conventional sci-fi/action thriller, which has a confident heart that pulses through its lesser parts.
Teller and Joy elevate the material for sure, making this a crowd pleasing watch that also teases at deeper inquiries on genetic hybridization and posthuman study.
‘Kill the Light’
A Turkish masterpiece and creative spin on Lynchian tracks. David would be proud.
Best fiction feature from Sundance 2025.
Photogenie at its finest.
Asceticism rendered through a rich aestheticism.
