    5.00 - Masterpiece
    The cohesiveness and natural flow of the conversation swept me away. Every movement was purposeful and the acting was show-stopping. Laughed repeatedly, was genuinely intrigued by the contemplative musings, and was astonished by how impactful the lines were. Jesse and Celine felt like home; their chemistry is crazy. Resonates painfully and beautifully with a charming nuance and lacks neat resolutions. Pacing is sometimes rushed but it feels right to be surrounded by time constraints. Characters are shaped…

    4.35 - Great
    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…

    ★★★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?"
