  Perfect Days 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Jul 2024

  Just a perfect day, except when it was not, but even then it is perfect because it was a day and sometimes that is enough.

  Churuli 2021

  ★★½ Watched 06 Feb 2022

  I was not motivated enough to figure out what the movie meant after it was over and hence the low rating. Scene by scene it is visually stunning and captivating but as a movie it kind of falls apart even with the movie-splaining (not once but twice) that it is a time loop.

  I feel like each of LJP's movie creates a new genre in Malayalam movies and I am overjoyed that there is an outstanding experimental filmmaker in my first language.
