    Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

    ★★★★

    We were on the verge of greatness.

    About as good as Star Wars can get. An abundant source of great memes, endlessly quotable, Andor and Erso are genuinely likeable heroes (something of a rarity in Disneyland), a killer finale, and Mendehlson's performance puts Krennic right alongside Vader and the Emperor as one of the franchise's finest villains.

    Unfortunately, the rhetorics of Hope are overcooked and Forrest Whittaker can't make any of his lines sound unfarcical (not his fault, wtf is a Bor Gullet give the poor bloke a chance ffs).

    Not in the same league as Revenge or Empire but very close.

    Ok ok maybe I'm missing something, but like, kinda, what's not to like about Grace Kelly watching you through your window and sneaking into your room??

    Kim Novak's hairdo in Vertigo🤝 Damn fine cups of coffee in Twin Peaks.

    The exquisite use of colour and the technical flair of Vertigo are probably what make this baby my favourite Hitchcock. The shots beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, Novak emerging from the green misty light in her hotel room, and the 360° embrace with scene changes in the background all look incredibly fresh. Not to mention Stewart's nightmare.

    The storyline never fails to intrigue, and the ending remains impactful.

    Timeless.
