    It's hard to take seriously the portrayal of Anya Taylor-Joy as a lower class citizen when she's like the human equivalent of an Afghan Hound.

  • Le Samouraï

    Le Samouraï

    ★★★★½

    A visual triumph, especially in those silent moments where the absence of dialogue allows me to fully absorb the imagery. Yet, at times, tension and pacing come to a grinding halt, sacrificed in favor of procedurally dry dialogue. The solitude and stark impassiveness of this experience embody what I had hoped to find in Bresson’s films. A flawed yet undeniable masterpiece.

    ★★

    If Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper is Sims 2, this is definitely Sims 4. Yeah, the graphics are better, but everything feels a bit more vapid and shallow, and I can't help but feel that someone is trying to sell me something.
