  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 30 Mar 2025

  “A Real Pain” is a beautifully raw exploration of grief, identity, and family. Chopin’s melancholic notes set the tone as two cousins embark on a ‘hereditary trip’ through Poland, uncovering buried emotions and generational trauma. 

  Their dynamic one masking pain with sarcasm, the other simmering with frustration feels so human, blending humor and heartbreak effortlessly. 

  Tripping on every shot, every emotion I loveee ittt!!! The pain, the sadness, the messiness of it all it lingers, just like the people we’ve loved and lost.

  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance. Even Christ was not certain at the end. 'Eli Eli, lama sabachtani?' He cried out in His agony at the ninth hour on the cross. 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand in hand with doubt. If there was only certainty, and if there was no doubt, there would be no mystery, and therefore no need for faith.

  Barbie 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Jul 2023

  "Memento Mori" boldly confronts the stark contrast between our pursuit of something greater in life and the unvarnished truth of our reality. With razor-sharp dialogue and witty humor, Barbie crafts a compelling narrative that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

  The brilliance of this movie lies in its ability to entertain and provoke thought simultaneously. You'll find yourself laughing one moment and contemplating life's deeper meaning the next. It's a rare gem that strikes the perfect balance between entertainment and introspection.
