  Opus 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Two good performances aren’t enough to save a film if every other character feels almost superfluous.  The pushy boss character is promising then gets sidelined and the support characters in the compound are paper thin.
  An intriguing misfire.

  Sister Midnight 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Hard to describe this in any normal genre terms.  But thoroughly entertaining and the lead actress is very good.

  ★★★★★ Watched 25 Feb 2025
