Annie Hall 1977
If this movie was a 10th as charming as it thought it was it would be the greatest movie ever made. Not to say I wasn’t charmed.
While it’s, at its base, it’s a series of comedic bits and melodramatic dialogue any movie held to such reductionist scrutiny (and anyone willing to levy such a critique) isn’t worth a rotten tomato’s audience score. Its merits or base rather, are its dialogue, its characters, and the grandeur and neuroses of love…

Try to tell me a way this film could’ve been more perfect and I know I will have found a fool.
The sheer momentum and technical efficiency, the cutting shots, the grounded performances. This would’ve been a 10 without Jodie foster, or Anthony Hopkins for that matter. But them here, on top of a bullet proof script and an ensemble (much larger and better than I remember) make this a flawless movie.
As an aside, a rewatch made me realize…

Sound of Metal 2019
Great beautiful intimate film. The performance from Riz is Oscar worthy. It’s a beautiful story gently told, but it does not hesitate to pull emotional punches when it needs to. What it gains in a heartfelt and well told story it loses in complexity of plot, which is all it keep from making a 9/10 for me. Although much closer to an 8.5 than an 8/10. All together great movie well worth watching.
