  Tangerine 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  "And I was just so upset. The world can be a cruel place."

  I can’t believe this was filmed with an iPhone 5s—a perfect example that if you truly want to create something, you don’t need much, just passion and vision. Thank you, Sean Baker, for telling the stories of people who are so often dehumanized, for showing their daily lives with honesty and heart. Even when their circumstances aren’t ideal, they deserve to be seen. Is a raw, vibrant portrayal of life on the margins that feels both groundbreaking and deeply human.

  Challengers 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  "For about fifteen seconds there, we were actually playing tennis. And we understood each other completely. So did everyone watching. It's like we were in love. Or like we didn't exist. We went somewhere really beautiful together."
  
  Watching this was an experience in the best possible way. It had everything—flawless performances, sexual tension so thick you could cut it with a knife, stunning cinematography, razor-sharp dialogue, and a soundtrack that just hits. Every moment felt electric, every detail perfectly placed. Wow. Just wow.

  "Insecure people are very dangerous, aren't they? I'm secure. Make sure you put that in there."

  I felt uncomfortable throughout the entire movie, but I guess that was the point. This is not a love story—it’s something much more complex and unsettling. Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman, and Charles Melton deliver extraordinary performances, each one deserving all the applause in the world. They bring so much depth to their roles, making every moment feel raw and intense. An unforgettable, deeply affecting experience.

  The Royal Tenenbaums 2001

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Jul 2023

  "I think we're just gonna to have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that, Richie."

  That’s right—it touched the depths of my soul, and I cried more than I should have. It’s a beautiful film with the perfect balance of laughs and tears, paired with an offbeat, original story that feels worthy of Wes Anderson’s quirky characters. Every moment feels meticulously crafted, yet effortlessly heartfelt. Truly, it was a wonderful experience—one that lingers long after the credits roll.
