    Redemption, identity, and beautiful contradictions. Blends mature sensibilities with captivating visuals and frees flight with poetry. A cynical protagonist that grapples with profound disillusionment is refreshingly complex. Subtly examines different responses to oppressive regimes such as resistance, escape, or accommodation. Contemplative moments dwell on small details and atmospheric settings. Some supporting characters bounce back between genuine amusement and inconsistent comic relief. Rivalry is abrupt yet interesting. Coaxes feelings of isolation and resistance. Recommended for those seeking emotional…

    Clearly cares about conversation and connection. A cinematic afterglow where the story lingers in your consciousness. Simple premise that deceives the audience with something profoundly moving. Stellar chemistry between the main cast. Electric yet unbalanced dialogue that captures the exhilaration of meeting someone who unexpectedly resonates with your soul. Scenes breathe naturally and embrace the bittersweet reality. Avoids clichés but philosophical musings can be naive or pretensive manufacturing. Leaves a wondering thought of the character's future and…

    ★★★½

    3.75 - Good
    Off-putting, repulsive, and tragic. Stellar acting with horrific connotations. Emphasised confusion regarding the loss of individual identity. Eccentric characters are obvious in their motivations and are met with no consequences. Psychotic main character lives in an deranged society. Insecurities manifest from a need for external validation. Extreme materialism is a support beam for the building that is modern society. Numbs the mind of humane emotions and leaves an air of disgust. Recommended for whomever wishes to dissect…

    ★★★½

    3.70 - Average
    Anticlimactic resolution with miraculous rising action. Enrapturing soundtrack that is easily the best part. Knock is my favourite character because of how expressive the actor is. Sinister and timeless atmosphere. Strongest section is the middle part where the dread and horror of what happens on the ship sets in. An unusual interpretation of a classic vampire doing what vampires do. Ingenious cinematography. Unsettling curiousity inspires a surfacing of untouched emotion. Recommended for those looking for a demonstration of potential at its finest. "Does this word not sound like the deathbed calling your name at midnight?"
