Pearce might give one of my 10 favorite performances of the decade here, but as a whole I just couldn’t get on this movie’s wavelength. Maybe I could have in the 2.5 hour version that’s buried within.

★★★★★ Rewatched 02 Jan 2025
One of the few reasons why I’m begrudgingly excited for the series is that they can fix everything post-Neville’s stand.
Harry and Voldemort fighting around the castle is cool, but that final showdown in front of nobody, Voldemort evaporating and the Elder Wand talk at the end just irk me. You could have squeezed so much more emotion out of all that.
Two things they won’t improve though: the Prince’s tale and the resurrection stone sequences. I bawl like a baby every single time.

I’m sorry, I just couldn’t get over Nosferatu looking like zombie Jim Carrey from those sonic movies.

Really, really great. I'm such a sucker for a good news/journalism movie. This is one of the better ones I've seen in a very long time.
Pairs well with Conclave and Saturday Night as a stressful, claustrophobic procedural/thriller. I would like many more such films.
