    The Lighthouse

    ★★★★

    "Why'd y'spill yer beans?"

    "The Lighthouse" is a brilliant claustrophobic nightmare led by magnificent performances from the two leads.

    Set in the late 19th century on a isolated island, a young drifter named Winslow (Robert Pattison) takes on a job as an apprentice for the old lighthouse keeper Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe). The work is hard labor and Winslow is tough, barking orders and making Winslow feel like a prisoner.

    Director Robert Eggers and cinematographer Jarin Blaschke works to create…

    Weathering with You

    ★★★★★

    Weathering with You is a riveting and beautiful fantasy romance backdropped by catastrophic climate change.

    The film is follows 16-year-old Hodaka Morishima, a runaway fending for himself in the chaotic metropolis of Tokyo where it hasn’t stopped raining for an indefinite period of time. In a fast-food restaurant, teenage waitress Hina gives the starving Hodaka a free burger, and two patches of red flush across his cheeks endearingly.

    Love Life

    ★★★★

    En film som antyder att det finns en form av udda skönhet i hemligheter och att det kanske finns en trygghet i barriärer; det finns en komfort i vetskapen att man aldrig helt kan känna den andre. Det är en film som är lika delar hjärtskärande som befriande och det är något så starkt med en berättelse om två människor som är villiga att gå vidare tillsammans trots vetskapen om att det för alltid kommer att finnas distans mellan dem.

    John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum

    ★★★★

    Parabellum, just like it's two predecessors, is some of the greatest action you'll ever see. The violence is raw, gritty and like a beautiful symphony at the same time. Chapter 3 raises the stakes with sword fights on motorcycles and gunfights on horseback. And at the center of all this relentless mayhem is Keanu Reeves, in the role he was born to play.

  • Prospect

    Prospect

    ★★★★

    Sci-fi Western that doesn't need a Marvel movie's worth of CGI to make its point.
    It feels like the debuting directors spent years developing the depressing and believable world the movie takes place in.
    Gritty and stylish cinematography with a fitting soundtrack adds further to the world-building; this is a movie that nails the atmosphere.
    Don't miss this gem, "Prospect" deserves to find a cult audience.
