Mickey 17 2025
So flawed but also very fun. The narrative is overstuffed with subplots that don’t amount to much, the dialogue is often corny, the commentary is also corny (though occasionally gratifying), and overall the film is messy, but Pattinson has more than enough charm to make up for it. I honestly wish this was more of the weird romantic comedy or oddball sci-fi film that this threatened to be at points, instead of the social commentary crowd pleaser that we ultimately get. Would’ve loved to see this come out before the election.

Stunning. The way the film casually evolves its tone and imagery will likely piss a lot of people off but I found it nothing short of fascinating. Perhaps this is just unfiltered Guadagnino fucking around but I wouldn’t have it any other way. A masterful score, as per usual for Reznor/Ross, and a genuinely shattering performance from Daniel Craig help this to be a surreal, oddly moving film that is exactly what arthouse cinema should be. Evoked the same feeling of wonderful mystification that 2001 did when I first saw it.
