    ★★★★

    The road is long, but the destination isn’t the point.

    I really loved this film. Alfonso Cuarón crafts a story that feels effortless, yet every moment is filled with meaning. His love for Mexico is present in every frame, not just in the sweeping landscapes but in the way he captures the unspoken realities of class, politics, and youth. The writing is sharp and playful, allowing the characters to feel natural and alive, never forced. The chemistry between Diego Luna…

    Turns out, the real neuralyzer was the friends we made along the way.

    The story is original and compelling, blending sci-fi weirdness with dark humor and…

    Robert Eggers delivers a visually stunning and atmospheric take on Nosferatu, breathing new life into the iconic tale. Each frame is a work of art, capturing the essence of gothic horror while showcasing Eggers’ unmistakable vision. The shadows, textures, and eerie lighting work together to create a world that feels both haunting and beautiful.

    The acting is spot-on across the board. Bill Skarsgård is captivating as Count Orlok, embodying a chilling mix of menace and tragedy. His physicality and presence…
