  Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2004

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Such an interesting concept for a film, and it's executed in an intriguing and emotional way. It's a beautiful story about memory and acceptance that begs the question of whether it is right to forget the things you believe are wrong in life, even if they are what shape you.

  My only real critique is that I didn't find myself particularly invested in some of the subplot characters.

  Great movie.

  Whiplash 2014

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  The acting in this movie was impeccable. Got me so invested and stressed over something I know so little about. And that final scene, damn. Absolute banger of a film.

  Arrival 2016

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Beautiful movie. The cinematography and the plot were great and the revelation was amazing.

  It seemed to me that some of the dialogue and actions of some of the characters came across a bit overly confrontational or dense in order to warrant exposition or highlight the protagonist; though this is only a small gripe and does not take away massively from the movie.

  Definitely recommend.
