    City of God

    ★★★★½

    there's lots of movies revolving around the endless cycle of violence in places like the city of god, but only very few I've seen manage to tell their stories as well as this one.

    the acting in this was amazing. i've read they cast mostly people from the favelas - not (only) for authenticity, but mostly because they couldn't find any black brazilian actors in 2000... watch the movie and you'll know why, these kids had (probably have) other things…

  • Wings of Desire

    Wings of Desire

    ★★★★

    ★ for mindreading on the subway (I wish)
    ★ for berliner dialect
    ★ for childlike (re-)discovery of the world
    ★ for the angel's envy of mortality
    ☆ for ending a movie as good as this with stalking a woman until she magically falls in love with you

    The Hourglass Sanatorium

    ★★

    what really annoys me is how they started out by showing that they COULD create a cool atmosphere and make this exciting and then opted to just spam you with 70s brain rot for 2 fucking hours

  • Her

    Her

    ★★★

    maybe he should've just gotten therapy instead of having e-sex with his quirky (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ ai girlfriend

    nice color coordination,
    reeeally liked amy adams,
    the shots of his past relationship actually hurt fr,
    and they even sprinkled in some thought provoking moments on ai and relationships! nice
