Heretic 2024

★★★★ Watched 15 Dec 2024

I liked it, mostly as a vehicle for Hugh Grant to play with and subvert his decades-long persona in an interesting, captivating way. Also found the open challenges of faith and where those challenges ultimately land compelling. I think the third act kinda takes the wind out of its cerebral sails, and its ending is a tad too convenient, but I enjoyed myself.
The Outrun 2024

★★★½ Watched 27 Nov 2024

I appreciated The Outrun’s approach to conveying the non-linear journey of addiction and recovery through its mosaic narrative. Not sure if it’s emotionally resonant as it would like to be (feels a step or two removed), but there are some
compelling directorial choices, including the brief uses of animation. Saoirse Ronan delivers a go-for-broke performance as Rona, leaving everything on the table as she shuffles through the dredges of alcohol abuse with unguarded, raw conviction.

I’m Still Here 2024

★★★★½ Watched 27 Nov 2024 1

A soul-crushing film about a Brazilian family whose world is shattered by the army’s brutal and fascist capture of their patriarch. Fernanda Torres is titanic as Eunice, a woman who must navigate the tricky waters of brutal authoritarianism while trying to maintain a happy home. Eunice’s first interrogation by the army is one of the most terrifying scenes of the year, and casts an overwhelming pall over the rest of the film. Watching it genuinely hurts, but feels necessary, at least to see Torres at the top of her, and every other, field of performance.
A Family Affair 2024

★★★★ Watched 25 Jun 2024

If they cut Joey King’s character out of the movie, or at least minimized her role, this would be the best romantic comedy of the year. A grounded yet swoon-worthy film about two unlikely people falling in love by forming genuine connections that have nothing to do with their ages and occupations. The movie set scene is elite rom-com. Unfortunately, Zara is a petulant adult who sucks the air of the film, but at least everyone calls her out on…
