The Color Purple 2023
The tone of this film gave me whiplash. It went from earnest musical numbers and characters with sunshine-y, aw-shucks attitudes to scenes depicting rape, incest, abuse and racism in the same breath. Great actors, beautiful songs—but a strange choice for a musical adaptation.

Oppenheimer 2023
Man’s ego will be the death of us all...but what a way to go! Nolan is a master at spinning multiple plates of storylines while simultaneously building tension to an operatic and devastating conclusion. Gorannson’s score sticks to your bones. I found the court hearing scenes more passionate than the sex scenes, which were a lil stilted and weird. All-in-all, a thrilling theatrical experience that will leave you quietly marinating/googling for hours afterwards.
