    I'm Not There

    ★★½

    Apart from an excellent Cate Blanchett this did very little for me.

  • The Greatest Show on Earth

    The Greatest Show on Earth

    ★★★½

    Great spectacle broken up by dramatic elements that admittedly don’t always work and  feel repetitive causing the long runtime to drag a bit. The train wreck and many entertaining circus segments make up for this for an overall solid feature. Not worthy of best picture but far from the worst to receive the honor.

  • The Hypnosis

    The Hypnosis

    ★★★★

    A very original and poignant examination on personal transformation. Explores in a very neutral and sometimes humorous way what it can be like when the life you’ve built and person you want to be clash. Watching Vera reshape her identity while André struggles to understand feels more universal and applicable than I first expected. Will be paying attention to Ernst De Geer’s future films. Impressive debut!

    ★★★

    Mostly engaging feel-good sports comedy without much depth. As long as you like Taika Waititi‘s particular brand of comedy you should find enough to stay entertained and the narrative structure is cliche but uplifting regardless.
