  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  Conclave displays the gut-wrenching power play politics within the religious Catholic body. It delivers great performances with wonderful editing that delivers tight and tense paces throughout, leaving you wanting and guessing for more.

  One thing to highlight is the masterful scoring that just so elegantly drives this whole conclave into the edge of a cliff into a death plunge. It provides such a beautiful contrast with the premise to encapsulate this dualism that exists.

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Mar 2025

But i continuously found myself not caring enough about that fact or feel any tension whatsoever.

  Dialogues are stiff, not because they're formal but are…

  Eye Two Times Mouth 2023

  ★★★ Watched 04 Apr 2023

  Quite a beautiful movie indeed. The story manages to be deep into musical lyricacy but also equally interesting to those who aren't familiar with it.

  The cinematography was one of the more unique ones i've seen in a while, it managed to captivate what for me was a very subjective experience into the mind of the main character.

  I especially enjoyed the last scene even though I don't normally enjoy opera, there was just an outburst of passion that oozes…
