Wow. I don't know what I was expecting, but this blew my expectations out of the water. Denis Villenueve has out-done himself with this one. This was a fully immersive experience, and it was the quickest 2 hours and 35 minutes of my life. I was worried that I would be confused because I wasn't a fan of the books beforehand, but Denis does a great job at introducing you to the world without obvious exposition.

The Batman 2022
I just got out of the theater and I'm blown away. This film had a lot riding on it, and I'll admit that i was scared. I'll literally watch anything for Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz, but a 3-hour Batman movie? I was apprehensive. However, it completely surpassed my expectations. It's dark and gritty in the way that Bruce Wayne has always been, and Robert Pattinson's amazing performance proves how intimately he knows the character. Zoe Kravitz gives a career-best…

The Last Showgirl 2024
Longest 89 minutes ever. Movie coasts on vibes and lingering B-roll. Performances are great and the score is beautiful. The script was deplorable; so much clunky exposition and yet we really never ingest the information or get to explore the characters. I've watched 60 second long Tiktok edits that evoked more emotion from me than this film did. That Miley song was beautiful though.
P.S. I'm sorry because I love her, but there's no way in hell Billie Lourd passes…

Nosferatu 2024
Cried this time. Ellen's pain affected me so. I have so many thoughts about Count Orlok and what he represents for the characters in the film, how both real and supernatural he is, how he defies so many binaries of the "modern" world. Eggers has really outdone himself here. Definitely cemented its place as one of my favorite horror films ever.

Anora 2024
Okay, so. Where to start?
This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year. I love Mikey Madison, and I'm a fan of Baker's previous works. I was excited to see this, especially after hearing so much praise during the festival circuit about it.
Here's what works. It's shot beautifully, which is no surprise from a Sean Baker film. He's clearly got an eye. Mikey Madison is stellar in this as well, holding her own throughout the film…

Saltburn 2023
Let's start off with this. I was not expecting for this to be good by any means. A couple friends saw this before me and I knew I was most likely not going to like it. Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman was one of the most disappointing films of the last decade to me, so I had very low, low, low expectations.
I will say this: I was confused at why my friends hated it during the first act. Still…
