  The Marvels 2023

  ★★½ Watched 16 Feb 2024

  I just wish this was better. I love so many of the actors in this, and I know they’re capable of some amazing performances, but it feels like they’ve been given meh to work with so you kind of just get meh out.

  The Trial 1962

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Feb 2024

  Completely incomprehensible, but in a very entertaining way. I’m sure it must be saying something very profound. I should read Kafka.

  Judas and the Black Messiah 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 01 Dec 2023

  Loved this movie! Daniel Kaluuya is so fecking good at acting. Shoutout to Jesse Plemons for being absolutely terrifying and slimy and to Martin Sheen for being completely rage inducing. The horrific injustice portrayed in this movie makes it hard to watch, but I’ll be telling everyone to watch it for exactly that reason. So good!

  Hacksaw Ridge 2016

  ★★★★ Rewatched 21 Nov 2023

  Great performances, as usual, from Andrew Garfield and Hugo Weaving. Vince Vaughn as a drill sergeant was something I didn’t know I needed. I won’t deny there are elements that are a bit corny/cliché, but that feels like part of the fun. Just as entertaining and emotional on the rewatch.
