Poor Things 2023
An absurd coming-of-age fever dream, Yorgos Lanthimos leverages a diverse sandbox of unorthodox shot compositions and perspectives to realize a thematically-rich and hypnotic tapestry with threads of Mary Shelley's "Frakenstein" and Dostoevsky's "the Idiot"... and it really tickled my pickle.
The delightfully quirky soundtrack, soft focus, and surreal saturated realizations of European cities cultivate an eccentric sensory experience throughout the film's runtime that had me indignant each time my furnace ripped me from its grasp.
The acting was phenomenal and I would like to sleep with Mark Ruffalo.

Don't Look Up 2021
Don't Look Up is a striking critique of 21st-century politics, tribalism, power dynamics, capitalism, anti-science sentiment, science communication, and media culture that beautifully drifts between lighthearted absurdity and panicked existentialism. Society may be caricatured, but make no mistake, this is in good faith. The climax is unnervingly impactful, but the final few seconds, unfortunately, dampen the blow.
Don’t expect an arthouse film pushing new narrative or cinematographic boundaries.
Expect reviewers to fall face-first into the film’s critiques.
