  Kneecap 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Such a fun movie which I think fulfilled exactly what the creators sought out to achieve.

  Perhaps there could have been some more originality with the storytelling after their big break. It almost felt as thought they were tying off ends and ticking off audience expectations for the zero to hero trope in some of the scenes towards the end, so much so that it felt as though there was no need to watch the film from their success up…

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 05 Mar 2025

  Unfortunately, Adrian Brody DID deserve that Oscar😭
  So freaking good however it did drag a bit during the last 45 mins.

  Some notes I made during the intermission:

  - Unmoving footage how do you make sense of time—no notes 
  - Use of da shaky camera/pov style 
  - Cinematography😍
  - Why was there b roll footage during that party lol 
  - Pacing is perfect (for the most part)
  - The angled camera pans adds a lot of personality and ‘perspective’ as a theme within itself; with architecture being the main plot drivers

  Atonement 2007

  ★★★½ Watched 21 Feb 2025

  Nothing has the power to make me cry like a movie epilogue that takes place in a liminal picturesque space with emotive classical music playing…
