    The Alto Knights

    ★★★★

    Man hate to see the reviews on here, but I loved this. Very much dialogue driven but offered just enough action to add dynamism to the film, which was especially important considering its subject matter. As abstract as this world is to me, I found the central theme of personal growth and the difficulty in staying on that path due to outside influences especially relevant for me as I continue my transitory period into adulthood. Frank seemed to have matured…

    ★★★

    Opus definitely has its moments but just feels like it takes too long to find its feet. The wait for the 30 minute span where this film is seriously entertaining also feels even more extensive due to how similar the movie is to the handful of other cult related films that have released in recent years. Malkovich’s performance though does feel charismatic and his comment on someone’s talent being a barometer of how likely we are to offer our forgiveness for their actions (however despicable) rings entirely true.

    ★★★★★

    the visuals, sound, and use of various languages combined with the scale of the film create an atmosphere that is so domineering it’s hard to put into words.  genuinely might be one of the most immersive films i’ve ever seen.
