Haven't watched nearly enough films for my opinion to be worth literally anything.

Enemy 2013
Utterly blew me away. Part of that has to do with the fact that I had no idea Villeneuve, i.e. one of my favourite directors working at the moment, had made it until a couple of hours before I watched it, before realising it's up there with Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 as the very best film he's made.

He's almost a functional and content person, yet there's something not quite there. There's something missing behind…
