Donnie Darko 2001
A film of rare originality. Donnie Darko maintains an enthralling mystique that had me gripped from start to finish. So many questions are left unanswered, but I believe that’s the point. These questions lingered on the fringes of my consciousness for several days after.

Joker 2019
I enjoyed watching Joaquin Phoenix but I did not enjoy the movie.
Joaquin Phoenix is one of my favourite actors. He has given numerous performances deserving of an Oscar, and this is certainly one of them. However, his acting sits in an echelon above most other elements of the production (namely the plot and weak supporting characters). I feel the story could have been much richer if it was not bound to the comic book universe.
It’s a shame Joaquin didn’t receive his Oscar for The Master—a far superior film in all other respects.
