  Lars and the Real Girl 2007

  ★★★½ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  This is a beautiful film. I thought it was going to be a movie about loneliness, but it is really a movie about healing. It’s about kindness and connection and it is all portrayed in such an unexpected way. I really love what this film does.

  1 star for characters, 1 star for plot, 1/2 star for depth, 0 stars for cinematography, and 1 star for another moving performance by Gosling.

  Reservoir Dogs 1992

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Dec 2024

  I watched this with my dad and we were both fixated start to finish. It’s not as much about what actually happened, but the storytelling method is so captivating. It’s nothing new or genius or even unique, but it’s captivating piecing together a story bit by bit as you go along. The suspense is well executed, the aesthetic is cool, and I liked the character interactions a great deal. 🧡

  1 star for characters, 1/2 star for plot, 1 star for cinematography , 1/2 star for depth, and 1 star for criminals (edit: professionals) arguing over their colors

  The moment that I went from “what the hell is going on” to “OH SHIT” was unbelievable. This film is absolutely beautiful; it will have you questioning everything for nearly the entire duration but the payoff is heartbreaking.

  1 star for characters, 1/2 star for plot, 1/2 star for cinematography, 1 star for depth, and 1 star for the transitions
