  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  More of a 3.75 than a 4. The last couple of episodes
  Probably raise more questions than answers behind the gimmicky “what hides behind a closed door”- are parents equipped enough to do their job ? Kids should be talking more but are we asking them the right questions? That said the directorial and performance prowess of this is undeniable and often breathtaking.

  Formosa Beach 2024

  ★★★ Watched 10 Oct 2024

  An exploration in overlapping time segments, the memory of places and things (and body/hair), letters as truth-saying and vessels of lies, switching from fiction to documentary to open up thruths, cinematography looking for painterly aesthetics, but not sure challenging the audience only on an emotional plane (as it did for me) does necessarily do the job -- but it's a very subjective experience, I guess.
