  Hiroshima Mon Amour 1959

  ★★★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Time will pass. Only time. And time will come. A time will come, when we can no longer name what it is that unites us. The name will gradually fade from our memory. Then it will disappear entirely.

  Last Breath 2025

  ★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  This is based on a true story, but every single character felt like a caricature of a real person. At no point did I care about a single one of them. Every piece of dialogue felt forced (though Woody tried his best to make something of it). 

  Positives: it’s a reasonably interesting real-life story, and it very occasionally creates some mild tension. But in sum, I’m mostly glad I didn’t pay for this trip and that I got a run to and from the cinema out of it.

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Not had a good, earnest cat-and mouse movie for a while. Whole cast are great fun. Took a while for my brain to figure out this wasn’t Fassbender doing the same character as The Killer. Was fully expecting immediate blunders
