Getting to watch a man fight a beaver live on stage was not on my bingo card for this year but I'm so glad it happened.
The Revenant has nothing on this!

Funnily enough this felt so much more real than I was anticipating. Both Culkin and Eisenberg absolutely smash it out of the park here. A fantastic personal drama about trying to process and simultaneously avoiding your grief and troubles.
Too predictable and heavily driven by narration to present as anything truly unique, Bong Joon Ho's latest feels too clean and rounded off to properly drive it's sci-fi dystopian theming home. The script also jumbles far too many ideas without really having the focus to flesh them out.
What saved the film from becoming a total mess for me in its current form though were the performances, particularly from Pattinson, Yeun, and Ruffalo, who seems to be fully embracing his over the top villain persona and I'm so here for it.
2 and a half years and I finally got my next fix!
There's more majesty and awe in many frames of this film than most others could dream of in their entire runtime.
My eyes, ears, heart, lungs, and brain have been blown out. If anything dislodges this from my number 1 spot this year it'll have to be incredible.
