About as feel good as a feel good film gets. Interesting to see that there are no villains in the film, only themselves. The demons that they're battling with in their everyday lives, and it's handled really well; by the end you're fully rooting for them all as they enter the stage. Just a shame you didn't actually see the meat and two veg...

A Complete Unknown 2024
As someone who doesn't really know much about Bob Dylan it did give me a bit of an insight into his life. Timothee, Ed Norton and Monica Barbaro stand out but this formula feels so archaic. I haven't seen Walk the Line but I'm sure this biopic structure felt tired then; and by damn, it feels six feet under by now.
The ballad of a true original is the tagline used on this website but I don't think I've seen something so bland put to screen in a long time.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire 2019
Do you ever get that feeling after watching a film that everything you've watched before is redundant? Had it a couple of times; The Shining, The Lighthouse and Blade Runner 2049 come to mind. They make you re-evaluate everything you've rated on sites such as IMDB and Letterboxd and ask why you rated certain films so highly. I'll add Portrait of a Lady on Fire to that short list as it's a bonafide masterpiece.
I've also been thinking about why…

The Green Knight 2021
Wasn't completely wowed but painted a pretty good picture. Great visuals, set design and costumes (those crowns and the Princess' wedding dress (chef's kiss)). Didn't try and hide anything too much and it lead to some moments of bloat. Could have been 20 mins shorter but in my mind it all made sense...ish
