The Great Beauty 2013
Normally only add movies that inspire me, but this was really annoying. I really dislike the whole tone of self-important male gaze marinating the film.

So Long, My Son 2019
The best film I have ever watched. Mesmerising portrait of the sociology of profound social-economic change, of tragedy and the wounds embedded within us, all through a lens of weaving memory work. A rolling emotional journey of tremendous humanity. Wang Xiaoshuai has touched the ceiling with this masterpiece.

Coraline was very vibey. The atmosphere was fab, very moody. Beautiful animation. I think it spooks the targeted age group very appropriately. The tension was properly prickly. The pacing felt a bit off towards the end, somehow it both ended at the right time yet also felt a tad underemphasised. A solid 7.5
