Nickel Boys 2024

★★★★½ Watched 14 Jan 2025

Nickel Boys is a somber look at some deep subject matter through a truly unique lens. We follow the story of Elwood and Turner with a point of view filming style that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. The story is not intricate but instead a character study on trauma during a specific period of US history.
While the acting is great from top to bottom, the camera is the real star. By creating a matching sensory experience, we…
Nosferatu 2024

★★★★½ Watched 30 Dec 2024

Nosferatu is a mesmerizing theatrical experience that makes you feel the count’s shadow both symbolically and literally. The story uses old vampire tropes to reel the viewer in and adds its own psychosexual energy that makes it that much more unsettling.
Skarsgard as Count Orlok was truly chilling while maintaining the ugliness of the beast, and Hoult plays a convincing husband trying to do well by his wife. However the star is Rose-Depp, who gives one of the best physical performances…

Kneecap 2024

★★★½ Watched 23 Jan 2025

Kneecap is a fun movie about Irish language and politics shown through the rise of a grimy, drug-induced rap group. The boys represent how counter culture is presented within Northern Ireland while the teacher and his girlfriend represent reform at the establishment level.
The teacher represents the bridge between the two. He has a career, a future, and a place inside of an Irish lobbying group for the native Irish language. However when he joins the divisive rap group as…

Strange Darling 2023

★★★★½ Watched 20 Jan 2025 2

Holy shit I loved this movie. Strange Darling is the story of a serial killer that’s entire story structure is focused on subversion. The plot is non-linear and the scene progression makes you reconsider what you watched in the previous scene, similar to Memento.
The story starts out like any typical serial/spree killer movie and leads the viewer to certain conclusions. I genuinely didn’t see any of the major twists coming and it was very successful in keeping me guessing…
Flow 2024

★★★ Watched 20 Jan 2025

Flow is an animated silent film following a cat as he traverses with a changing world and the animals met along the way. The visuals are by far the best part of this movie, showing off beautiful landscapes and interesting water physics like a newer video game.
I’m not a cat person to begin with and I’m not usually the biggest fan of animated movies (especially ones designed for children). The lack of plot is a feature for some but…
