Fantastic, unique and lively film that is full of energy. It's not afraid to take risks, managing to perfectly walk the line between self-satire and real creativity.

Started out confusing and wacky not in a good way, but ended up being wacky and weird in the best way.

The Northman8/102022 · 2h 17m · Robert Eggers
Excellent film with a unique style - brooding and brutal. The stylistic choices can be a bit too much at times and characters could have been fleshed out more, but overall this allegorical tale definitely hits the mark.

Powerful and deep, lined with some funny moments.
The Menu8.5/102022 · 1h 47m · Mark Mylod
A fantastically made film that is captivating and somewhat absurd, but the allegorical themes on artistic expression and obsession really hit the mark for me.

2022 · 2h 19m · Park Chan-wook
There are moments where Chan-wook's greatness shines through, but as an overall package it doesn't doesn't quite stand as an equal to his other greats. Still very much a good film, it is beautifully shot and crafts a noir atmosphere, but I was not completely sold on the depth of the central relationship and the pacing/editing was a bit offbeat.

An original film, thought provoking and lonely, but also endearing in its own weird way.

Brilliantly executed satire that is both interesting and funny, sprinkled with just a hint of avant-garde abstraction to deliver a refreshingly lively piece.

A precious film that manages to bring a moving and wistful magic to the screen through a symphony of simple, subtle moments.

A lot more intense than I anticipated, a very interesting look at a bleak and fragile situation.
