  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 Feb 2025

  If the suffix “ist” is ever used in a film title with Adrian Brody as the lead again - go ahead and give this man his 3rd Oscar. The first half is impressionistic, the cinematography & score are delightful. The second half is expressionistic 
  , a few moments will wow you. I felt like I was watching art through a screen door, five stars. Best picture in quite some time.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 06 Feb 2025
