Mickey 17 2025
About as subtle as a slap to the face. But subtlety isn’t the goal if you’re slapping someone.
This film sets out to be a fun, kooky romp and absolutely succeeds at that. Truly “little weirdo” personified in film form. A bit predictable at times, a few shallow aspects, but overall a really enjoyable experience.
Bong Joon-ho and Robert Pattinson are such a perfect pairing, they really match each others’ freak.

The Brutalist 2024
This is some top tier character writing 🤌🤌 all the main cast are so well realized. The performances all around are excellent, but my lord, Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones suplex the rest of the cast with how great they are. It’s like if you go to Thanksgiving and spend all day making a really great pie. Like, truly the best thing you’ve ever made. You slaved away over it all morning, it’s all you’ve been able to think about…
