    La Chimera

    ★★★★½

    Something about this film that I fount so bizarrely enticing, these stunning shots of Italy behind these dirty men doing a dirty crime of grave digging yet every frame is beyond beautiful.

    Josh O’Connor is at his best in this, a subtle and troubled performance of a man dealing with loss and trying to that loss back, he steals literally ever scene he’s in. I got hints of The Long Goodbye, Paris, Texas and even Buster Keaton influences which I…

    Believe the hype about this film because it truly is monumental, epic and truly one of the best films of this decade so far. Corbet has crafted one for the ages with The Brutalist as is it portrays the hope of the American dream but then shows it’s not always as bright as what it seems.

    From its visual storytelling, brilliant pacing, some of the best performances of the year coming from…
