  All the Beauty and the Bloodshed 2022

  ★½ Watched 12 Mar 2023

  I watched this pretty blind thinking I was getting an interesting investigation into the opioid epidemic and the corruption of big pharma. 

  I got some uninteresting exploration of the New York art scene and a biography of a photographer I've never heard of nor care about. 

  Something I could not be less interested in. By time the court room action began towards the end, I had lost complete interest and it wasn't enough to draw me back in. 

  Not for me. I wish it hadn't got an Oscar nomination so I never had to watch it.

  A good starting point to learning more about racial injustice in America, but only really at a surface level. It could, and arguably should go deeper with its explanation and exploration of the cause of the obvious inequality still felt today. 

  There's just not really anything here that you likely wouldn't have read or watched elsewhere if you have any interest in the subject matter. 

  Still an important subject that continues to need to be talked about, and so it's a good start.

  Psycho 1960

  ★★★★★ Added

  10/10 - Iconic characters. Pioneering plot that was just as gripping now as it was 62 years ago when it was originally released.

  "Well, a boy's best friend is his mother."
