    Cloud 2024

    ★★★★ Watched 03 Jan 2025

    Doing a reverse jump scare by going silent instead of loud noise is genius, honestly more effective than the traditional, the bus scene felt very reminiscent of Perfect Blue.

    It started to lose me for a bit in the second half but than reeled me right back in when it almost turns into an Iannucci or Kaurismäki-esque satire which took me by complete surprise.

    Also sidenote, no way a kid threw half of a fucking engine into the second floor window from outside and if like me you don't know what "Ratel" means, it means honey badger.

    A Real Pain 2024

    ★★★★ Watched 02 Jan 2025

    This movie and Didi were two films this year, I wasn't expecting, that deeply affected me personally. Both of them have shown me relatability that I never felt before to an almost eerie extent.

    Jesse Eisenberg shocked me, I think the writing is incredible and also very specific. These two characters and their relationship are so close to reality for me but I can also see some people seeing them as almost caricatures which is why I find it very…

    Masterful. So many stairs.

    This is and will be the best cinematography and use of sound the whole year. Every frame is a painting. Robert Elswit absolutely cooked.

    Once you realize Dickie (Johnny Flynn) looks like a young Christopher Nolan you won't be able to unsee it.

    People are comparing this to the movie way too much. Go into it with the film forgotten.
