  THE CULMINATION OF 3 REVIEWS

  Individual Reviews:

  The Human Condition I: No Greater Love
  The Human Condition II: Road To Eternity
  The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayer

  Having finally watched The Human Condition Trilogy, I can comfortably say that it is one of the best and most consistent trilogies I have seen thus far. I was initially intimidated by the runtime, however as I would find out, just going for it would be the best thing to do. This…

  Citizen Kane 1941

  Re:viewed

  A man who had everything, yet truly had nothing. 

  To me, this is pure cinema. A young, first time director getting very generous creative control over his project. Speaking metaphorically, it just so happened that this first time director hit this home run to moon, let alone outside the park. This was another one of the films that catapulted me into my love for film and it is possibly the most grand inspiration that an aspiring filmmaker can have. …

  ★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  At least the first three have been consistent. They’ve gotten ever so slightly more interesting and able to keep me intrigued.

  ★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  To be honest, the first half of the film was quite boring. But the second half was way better.

  Good Will Hunting 1997

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 20 Jan 2024

  This is one of my lower 5s, but obviously I still think it’s a masterpiece. Damon is brilliant, but even more brilliant to me is the late great Robin Williams. The cinematography feels raw and never excessive, given the concept. 

  I genuinely think the “it’s not your fault” scene is one of the greatest, and most emotional, scenes to me. Sean is by far one of my favourite characters in all of film and it’s wonderful he’s played by Robin Williams. It’s like the cherry on top.

  The Iron Claw 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Jan 2024

  Packed cinema, peak biopic/sports film, and people crying at a wonderful finale. 

  I don’t often give films a five star on a first viewing but holy shit was I blown away. I am a massive wrestling fan. I’ve been watching wrestling on and off since 2008. However, this is not only a wrestling film. This is a beautifully crafted masterpiece that pays respect to the legendary Von Erich family and the sport/entertainment of professional wrestling. 

  First of all, this film…
