    The Brutalist

    ★★★★

    Conniving industrialism clashes with a broken and boundless spirit. Sweeping in its scope and beautifully framed within its innate tragedy. The journey towards one’s ultimate destination and legacy is tediously scrutinized. The American dream under a microscopic lens from its glorification to its woeful dismantling.

  • Mulholland Drive

    Mulholland Drive

    ★★★★★

    Rest in peace to one of the greatest minds in cinema. An unbridled creativity probing the limits of what’s possible within the medium. Delivering experiences that transcend the screen and voyage deep into the realm of the subconscious and unconscious. Terrifying. Euphoric. Perplexing. Lynch forever changed the way I view the silver screen. I’ll see you in my dreams ❤️

    Essentially the opposite of Barbarian in terms of execution and thrill. Horror that kneels down in front of the audience and talks to them like they’re fucking stupid.

  • The Gorge

    The Gorge

    L.L. Bean models patrol the Gorge in a super corny rom com shot like a weird Coca Cola commercial and then there’s some slight attempt at eco/sci-fi horror with super dated PlayStation 3 CGI scattered throughout.

    Every memory you’ve ever had in one gloriously mysterious kaleidoscope. A gorgeous stream of consciousness that expresses every range of emotion from birth to death. The tragedy of war and the innate innocence of childhood collide in a weeping firework of celebration and lament. Cinema as poetry and poetry as cinema. A cerebral journey through time. This was one of the most significant revelations I’ve ever had watching a film and Tarkovsky was the one guiding me the whole way through with a steady and awe inspiring hand.

    Valerie and Her Week of Wonders

    ★★★

    Entering womanhood via surrealist horror/fantasy fever dreamscape where men are monsters and monsters are men.
