  La Ciénaga 2001

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2025

  A truly remarkable film, hard to believe that it's a debut feature. Real life on the cinema screen.

  Picnic at Hanging Rock 1975

  ★★★ Watched 26 Feb 2025

  Visually great but everything else was somewhat underwhelming. I wasn't particularly gripped by the mystery which is a shame because the re-release trailer from the BFI had me very intrigued. Interesting nonetheless.

  Sergeant Rutledge 1960

  ★★★★½ Watched 02 Feb 2025

  Let down a bit by a pointless romantic sub-plot but essential viewing if you like Westerns and Courtroom Dramas.

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  Amazing performance from Adrien Brody. Both acts were strong but I felt that the Epilogue was unnecessary.
