    Whiplash

    ★★★★★

    The relentless painful pursuit of greatness and perfection leads to a film that seemingly encapsulates the very essence of it. While the abusive harsh methods may be too much to some, the very fruit of it lies within the end of the film, albeit cut short to no concrete conclusion. Although, the climactic abrupt ending did serve justice towards Neiman and Fletcher.

    The dancing between sincere and utmost torture between mentee and mentor is tastefully done which captivates audience through the psychological ride within the film. The screenplay and score further emphasises this leading to a treat that elevates the initial narrative of the film.

    The Wolf of Wall Street

    ★★★★

    The rise and fall off Belfort was paired over-glorified immoral pursuit of the American dream, money. The intoxicating world of excess was shoved onto the screen, sometimes excessive (how ironic). The pschopathic nature with utter lack of empathy was exacerbated by the fact that the victims of the pump and dump weren't shown on screen. This is not the usual film where it hooks you on empathetic with the characters, rather it hooks you on the high of excess—sprinkle in some questionable and somewhat amusing comedy.

    ★★★★★

    Wolfwalkers is a refreshing breath of fresh air. Without even watching the entire movie, you're treated with such charming visuals. The gorgeous animation is then paired with deep storytelling that challenges the characters' perception that on the surface level treats us with just the right amount of depth. However, one can dig deeper to the folklore and encounter the hidden metaphors the film has.

    Who is this movie for? People who want to try non-Disney films that have stunning animation and doesn't lack in screenplay & storytelling would love this.
