Fun sexy thriller. Maybe has some pick-up artist vibes, so I'm a little sad that it doesn't want to reckon with a lot of the lying and misleading. Still a welcome spin in this sad slow death of Romantic Comedies that we're living through.

A Different Man 2024
I started worried this was explosive, then realized it's brilliant and then ended maybe thinking it's exploitative.

The Menu 2022
Probably the biggest laughs for me of the year. Best Nicholas Hoult character ever maybe. The performances are all kinda amazing, the food looked great too.
But, the satire didn't completely land for me. It walks between a serious thriller and a satire throughout, but the satire is maybe a little obvious and the drama is a little underdeveloped. I do like it more while thinking about it but I can't quite tie it together even in retrospect.

Baby Assassins 2021
Childlike characters stumble through the modern capitalist job market with dashes of sexism while murdering. Keeps it light and funny while managing to make it still feel real. Plus the ending sequence completely crushes expectations and is equal to any action movie.
