  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  A movie about a tortured artist who gets tortured and tortures everyone around him. I watched this from a place of resenting the brilliant artist trope. It’s highly polished and beautifully directed and acted but I just couldn’t go along for the ride as much as I wished to.

  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  They did a great job of capturing a moment in time! I got lost in the early 1960’s and was glad to be immersed in such a transformative time. While I love that they had a balanced and unglamorous portrayal of Bob Dylan it was hard to buy into the primary conflict of the movie. This movie is about artistic growth and the bravery required to pursue your vision. In this case, the vision was Bob Dylan’s controversial decision to go electric. Not the highest stakes if I’m being honest…

  Deep Red 1975

  ★★★ Watched 12 Jan 2023

  The production design on this movie alone is a reason to watch it. The mystery pretty much requires solves itself in the first 5 minutes of the movie which really takes the wind out of the suspense sails sadly

  The Banshees of Inisherin 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Jan 2023

  Haven't seen anything like it really and was totally captured by the world they created. It felt like a play or a modern retelling of an ancient story. Beautiful and worth watching.
