  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 25 Jan 2025

  Diamonds & Rust. The best biopic. Phenomenal — couldn’t stop smiling.

  Civil War 2024

  ½ Watched 19 Jan 2025

  Irredeemable — 
  this trivialises truthful journalism, conflict & war: less like Lee Miller. Expostulatively very vacuous: characters considerably underdeveloped, overacted or detestable. No plot points. Forgettable.

  Testament of Youth 2014

  ★★ Watched 27 Aug 2024

  Historical deviations disappointing. Contrastingly, Brittain beautifully humane. A wonderful woman.

  Challengers 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Apr 2024

  Sophoclean. Eliciting pyschosexual pathos, anxious agony tentatively throughout. Herein, Zendaya’s fluid feelings foregrounding: intentionality, desire, loss & grief. (See: Antigone!) 
  “Glukupikron”, Carson-esque. Donaldson, tempestuous — Akrasia fatally flawed. Zweig, oppositional to this. Challengers superbly scored, whilst perfectly paced. Immaculate.
