  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  Effortlessly cool and Fassbender’s outfits were slick. 

  This probably would’ve been a four but I’m still weary after having to evacuate the AMC in Santa Monica last night and rewatch the first half this morning lol

  The Brutalist 2024

  Hoooooly shit. The way this movie ends is such a brilliant piece of writing. The score, the pacing, the performances, and the cinematography all fantastic. No notes.

  The Actor 2025

  ★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  I think the dream/stage-like overly stylized treatment wasn’t always landing for me but I appreciate the tie-in it provided with the theme of his missing memory. And it’s a really interesting premise - without our memories will we be who we want to be or who others tell us we were?

  At times it felt a bit aimless, rolling purely off of vibes but I did enjoy it overall. Mainly because André Holland’s continuing to cook. I suspect without him, this probably would’ve felt more like Bubble and Squeak from Sundance earlier this year.
