    Better Man

    ★★★

    I don't know who this guy is but I enjoyed his story
    I thought the monkey business was fine lol, eventually it just blends in and you think it's a normal british guy

    Music was survivable
    I find it hard to sympathize with the struggles of fame but I suppose that's the point

    better than the average music biopic but what truly did we learn here

  • The Return

    The Return

    ★★½

    not bad
    really slow — probably had 5 minutes of glamour shots, which is like okay it’s pretty but also nothing’s happening
    Most of the movie happens in the last 30 minutes and I don’t like to say that about most movies but this one really did have soooo much build up for a pretty anticlimactic finale
    Fiennes was solid. He hangs dong

    Emma stone and mark ruffalo slayed
    Beautiful film in a ghastly kind of way
    Stone gave it her all, her progression throughout the film was amazing. Ruffalo was non-stop hilarity. Dafoe and Youssef were solid too. overall a great script, so it’s good to see them all knock it out of the park

    Unfortunately a lot of french

    Conversations about femininity, growing up, religion, political philosophy... Lanthimos does a wonderful job giving you the opportunity to project yourself onto it…

  • The Holdovers

    The Holdovers

    ★★★★½

    on rewatch it’s probably my favorite of the year
    lot of small things I appreciated more on the second viewing

    I love the shot where giamatti just yells angus outside

    It’s just a cozy little blanket kind of movie, so enjoyable
