    12 Angry Men

    ★★★★★

    "We’re not here to defend a guilty man. We’re here to decide whether a man is guilty or innocent."

    A dozen men, a single room, and a life on the line. Each one brings his own history, his own biases, and his own version of the truth. What starts as a simple decision unravels into something far more complicated—a reflection of how easily we can judge and how hard it is to truly see someone else’s life.

    That final scene? It’s not just about a verdict—it’s about the weight of our choices, and how sometimes, it only takes one voice to change everything.

    Mysterious Skin

    ★★★★★

    "The summer i was 8 years old, five hours disappeared from my life."

    Some ghosts don’t haunt you, they live inside you.

    Neil moves through the world like he’s untouchable, collecting scars like souvenirs. Brian moves like he’s made of glass, searching for answers he’s not sure he wants. One runs toward the fire, the other spends his life sifting through the ashes. Both are burning.

    That final scene, where everything unspoken finally settles, hit like a wound I forgot I had. Maybe some things don’t get better. Maybe we just learn how to carry them.

  • All About Lily Chou-Chou

    All About Lily Chou-Chou

    ★★★½

    Drenched in static, bathed in green, and floating somewhere between dream and nightmare; All About Lily Chou-Chou is less of a movie and more of a feeling. A suffocating, slow-motion descent into loneliness, cruelty, and the desperate search for escape.

    I get why people love it. The hazy digital aesthetic, the way music becomes both a refuge and a religion, it’s all beautifully done. But for me? It just never clicked. Too distant, too drawn-out, too wrapped in its own…

  • The Face of Another

    The Face of Another

    ★★★★★

    "A man without a face is free, but is he still a man?"

    Teshigahara takes identity and burns it down to its bones, then stitches it back together with eeire precision. Every glance in this film feels like a question: Who are we when no one recognizes us? Who are we when we dont recognize ourselves?
    In the final scene, where shadows stretch across faces like ghosts of past selves, hit like a quiet apocalypse. Maybe the mask was never the problem. Maybe the problem was the man underneath all along
