  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 11 Feb 2025

  Insane cinematography and editing

  Incredible scope and profound themes that were held back from inconsistent script and performances

  Some moments of brilliance but just as many
  contrived, tonally incoherent moments

  Still walking away with a lot to reflect on, this was really powerful

  The Substance 2024

  ½ Watched 24 Sep 2024

  0 heart
  0 nuance
  0 substance (haha)
  Exploitative 
  Ironic 
  Very obviously doesn’t even care about body dysmorphia, ageism or any of the issues. Uses those aspects to deliver this unrelenting shock porn
  Doesn’t even have its own style, borrows from a million different directors (lynch, cronenberg, Kubrick, noé etc. etc. etc.)
  Exposes everything fucked up about western consumer culture and then serves exactly that to the audience to eat like pig slop
  I don’t even care if that’s the whole…

  Priscilla 2023

  ★½ Watched 07 Nov 2023

  It looks really good that’s about it

  Weird ass phony cringy movie
  Emotionless, no substance, bad writing (especially the third act), lacks perspective, directionless, bad performances for the most part

  It’s profound in the sense that it sheds light on the cycle of abusive relationships and the men that abuse and manipulate through their power. Where this movie sours for me is the implications it has on Priscilla’s name. 

  For a movie about Priscilla, this provides nothing to the depth…
