    Conclave

    ★★★★★

    Conclave seamlessly blends political intrigue, moral dilemmas, and razor-sharp wit into a story that feels like it was crafted with my tastes in mind. A thriller centred on the secretive process of selecting the next pope, the film delivers on every front, earning its comparisons to Mean Girls or Succession—but with cardinals.

    The ensemble cast is extraordinary, with every member given moments to shine. Ralph Fiennes delivers his best performance since The Grand Budapest Hotel, commanding the screen with quiet…

    All We Imagine as Light

    ★★★★½

    Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light is a tender, evocative film that masterfully weaves authenticity and emotional depth into its story of three women navigating life in bustling Mumbai.

    Challengers

    ★★★★½

    Challengers is a riveting sexy, sports drama that electrifies the screen with fantastic performances from Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist. Zendaya delivers what might be her best performance yet, while O’Connor shines brilliantly as always. However, it’s Mike Faist’s portrayal of Art that steals the show, earning him the title of MVP in this film.

    Directed by Luca Guadagnino, “Challengers” stands out as one of his best works, showcasing his ability to capture raw emotions and intense moments particularly…
