The Brutalist 2024
Too brutal. Literally. Adrien Brody is great, and there are loads of beautiful shots, but somehow it just feels fake as it's missing even a moment of light human emotion - even though it spans a time period of decades. I can't feel the truth of the downs unless there are some ups to compare them too. Plus The Brutalist adapts the standard story of a "troubled genius", which is pretty played out by by now.

Mulholland Drive 2001
If I read the screenplay for this by itself, I'm sure I would think it was a terrible, terrible idea. But this film proves the huge difference between an idea on paper, and one painted into a movie. Serious vibes, and while I can't explain half of what happened, I definitely feel... it. Makes me want to watch Twin Peaks.

The Whale 2022
Brendan Fraser's acting was amazing, and had me nearly crying at multiple points in the film almost without realising why. I suppose that's one of the signs of excellent acting.
Overall, a well told story about loneliness, self-guilt, and whether you can ever truly save someone.Translated from by
