The Substance 2024
I'll just keep this review short...
This film hits every mark when it comes to proper storytelling. It is absurd. It is nerve wrecking. It is beautiful. It is scary. It is disgusting. It is properly captured.
It keeps you glued to the screen as the story vividly unfolds with the viewer's expectations constantly considered and flipped around.
It is definitely a film the world needs right now considering beauty standards, social media and the way we define "perfection".
I'll probably revisit this one every once in a while just to appreciate its execution.Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow!

The Night House 2020
After rewatching this film, I fell inlove with its craft completely. Not only is the story compelling, it is the scifi / psychological thriller I've been searching for.
The cinematography allows the viewer to engage with an entity that is carefully crafted with the physical realm of the story world and captures a presence like no other film I've seen before.
The film plays on your expectations with a significant backstory which soon becomes a mere drop of paint on a larger canvas.Death is after us all and its name is nothing.

Saw X 2023

I was anxious. I was edge-seated. It was totally horrific. Disgusting. Sad. Exciting. Nauseating. Unexpected. Scary. Funny (Amanda) and above all, totally worth the wait.
The filmmakers clearly allowed themselves to play with the making of this film and finally brought everything the fans wanted to the big screen. It's a well… -

Oppenheimer 2023
Although I was trying to keep up with all the political facts about the history within narrative, I thoroughly enjoyed this remarkable achievement in filmmaking that brings the art of commercial cinema to the big screen.
The beats are perfect, the cinematography is everything and the performances will leave you stunned. Oppenheimer serves as a subtle approach to the trauma of the second world war and allows its viewer to surf waves of emotion that is carefully motivated by visual metaphors.
