    The Lovers on the Bridge

    ★★★

    This made a lot more sense when I looked up the director and noticed that he did Holy Motors 

    A very beautiful and perfectly gritty visual spectacle! 

    I think I would have enjoyed this more if I hadn’t been so scared of Alex and his intentions the whole time!

    Fallen Leaves

    ★★★★½

    I love movies because movies like this one exist. 

    Fallen Leaves feels timeless and it would be tricky to identify the exact decade if it weren’t for the reoccurring news reports of the Russian invasion in Ukraine. With Finland bordering Russia, these news reports are a bleak backdrop and reminder of today’s present and how we are all just… here, doing our best to carry on. 

    The undercurrent horror of the outside world is intertwined with the horrors of daily life…

    Poor Things

    ★★★★

    YORGOS DOES IT AGAIN!!  
    And by does it again I mean - completely reinvents the wheel, presents a unique world on screen that’s never been done before and is yet so similar to ours; portrays characters that are bizarre & whacky yet strangely relatable, brilliantly capturing the weirdness of the human experience with all its high highs and low lows! 

    My biggest question is … why doesn’t Bella get her period? Or how does she not get pregnant after all…
