A personal favourite. A masterfully humorous and (somehow) lighthearted twist on one of the most devastating human figures of the past 100 years. Jojo Rabbit offers a simple comment on humanity through the lens and character arc of a young and innocuous German boy who idolises Adolf Hitler. Despite its simple message, its originality and unique storytelling makes this movie radiate.

Phantom Thread 2017
A complex romance between two stubborn and complex individuals. Phantom Thread is an at times frustrating tug-of-war between two people who persist at every waking moment to pursue their relationship on their own terms. The result is an all-consuming, oedipus-style (somehow working) relationship where both parties make extreme compromises. While unique, Phantom Thread suffers from minor plot holes to explain its character arcs.

Dead Poets Society 1989
Heartwarming, heartbreaking and thematically enriching. Dead Poet Society takes a brilliant cohort of (almost) ivy-leaguers and slams open their peripheries to the world of poetry, creative endeavour and perspective. At its core, the movie represents a fundamental clash of two juxtaposing schools of thought: conservatism in pursuit of excellence and creativity in pursuit of humanity. Its legacy: the fundamentality of freedom of expression to human nature, and the consequences of restricting it.

The Batman 2022
A refreshing and stylistic take on the Batman franchise. Although reminiscent of the world curated by Tim Burton’s Batman, Matt Reeves dims the lighting even further on this iteration from his predecessor, Nolan. This movie enjoys revelling in gothic tones while also challenging the archetypal relationship dynamic between Batman and Gotham City. Most impressive is the movie’s cinematography and screen colouring. Every shot seemingly belongs in an art gallery somewhere. Overall, The Batman succeeds in its symbolism and cinematography but could enjoy better character depth in its writing and relationships developed between its beloved characters.
