  Devotion 2022

  ★★★ Watched 17 Apr 2023

  Surprisingly sleepy trope fest  for the first what seems like forever. Near the end the director jammed  the throttle forward for an exciting ending, but it’s not enough. If you’re hoping for Top Gun dial back your expectations.

  Luther: The Fallen Sun 2023

  ★★★ Watched 10 Mar 2023

  Luther's aura prevents this from devolving into a viscerally disturbing snuf fest.  But only just barely.

  Living 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 04 Mar 2023

  You want to say "they don’t make movies like this anymore", or, some similar nod to more traditional filmmaking from the good old days. But I’m not sure that this isn’t something that transcends even that.
