  Thangalaan 2024

  ★★★ Watched 16 Aug 2024

  Has some good, some high moments...Still failed to give a satisfaction overall. Ranjith gave it all with a different setting and approach, which is not aimed at mainstream...but didn't work completely (for me). Loved the politics in the movie, and the performances in the film. Chiyaan gave a powerhouse performance, one hell of an actor he is. Parvathy and Pasupathy were fantastic, completely immersed in the characters.

  Paterson 2016

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 18 Jan 2022

  Not sure how to describe this beautiful film ❤️ It is full of heart and life. Heartwarming - this is the word I was looking for. Amazing writing - every characters has its own distinct moments and fills the movie. The place Paterson itself plays a important role in the movie. Routine followed by the lead, his love for poetry, cute little funny moments spilled all over the movie.

  Adam Driver is one of the most promising and honest faces…
