  The Miseducation of Cameron Post 2018

  ★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Very sweet and well-made film with some important themes. It didn't really add too much to the coming-of-age genre though and it all felt a bit familiar. It kinda felt like a social realistic version of But I'm a Cheerleader. I also never really got as emotionally invested in the characters as I hoped. Still some great performances by Chloë Grace Moretz and Sasha Lane and a generally entertaining watch.

  The Blue Caftan 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  This was just magnificent. So tender, so subtle, so beautiful and so so heartbreaking. This was just stunning in every way from the gorgeous cinematography and haunting score to the impeccable acting and the incredibly textured story of life, death, love and repressed homosexuality.

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Feb 2025

  Finally got to see this one, and I really liked it! The cinematography and editing were both incredibly slick, the score was amazing and so damn energetic, and the acting performances by Qualley and Moore were very impressive. Not to mention the insane makeup work and costume design. The story was pretty compelling as well, though I did find it a bit on the nose at times. I was also not the biggest fan of the final act, as I found it to be a bit too over-the-top to my taste. Nonetheless this was a very bold, and extremely well-crafted film!

  To Catch a Killer 2023

  ★★½ Watched 18 Feb 2024

  The cinematography is really good in this film, and at first it felt pretty promising. Unfortunately it ends up falling flat with clunky dialogue, a really messy plot (especially the second half) and paper-thin characters. The film generally lacks the tension we see in the great detective films like "Se7en" or "Silence of the Lambs", and it never seems believable, that Woodley's character was supposed to be a former call girl and drug addict.
