  Srbenka 2018

  Wtf is up with the poster?

  Anyway, I liked this movie and I think there were some compelling elements in it (the scene where it’s just a shot of the director grinning as he watches the actors recreate a real-life triple murder is a disturbing highlight) but I don’t think I can really recommend it because it was incredibly slow and boring. I’m completely serious when I say that if they cut out all of the b-roll shots of empty chairs and dust lit up by stage lights the movie would be ten minutes shorter.

  ★★★ Watched 10 Mar 2025

  Not the greatest movie—some parts were hackneyed or underdeveloped. That being said, I think it does a good job at conveying a sense of the main character’s trauma and the lingering sense of terror and dread she feels as a result

  Underground 1995

  Kusturica made a nearly three hour movie that spends the whole…

  Fly Me to the Moon 2024

  ★★½ Watched 01 Jul 2024 1

  A mess. None of the actors have any chemistry, every character is unbelievable (sad to report that Woody Harrelson let me down) and the film can’t decide what tone to take. Is it a wacky comedy? A light hearted romance? A feel-good drama about the space race with comedic elements? All of these things make the film meh, but the use of actual tragedy (Gus Grissom et al burning to death in the Apollo One test) as fodder for Channing Tatum’s tearjerker back story pushes the movie into “actually offensive” territory
