Dune: Part Two9/102024 · 2h 47m · Denis Villeneuve
Absurd but brilliant, and totally hilarious.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga8.5/102024 · 2h 29m · George Miller
Gripping plot with interesting characters, balanced lots of excellent action scenes with deeper elements too.

The Promised Land8.5/102023 · 2h 7m · Nikolaj Arcel
Powerful film with simple elements that are executed wonderfully. Mads gives a fantastic performance, as do almost the whole cast, all glued together with restrained but sharp dialogue.

Great plot and writing, good jokes, original and quirky in the right ways.

Flowed well with great action, plenty of laughs and lots of fan service, maybe even a bit too much, but I guess that was kind of the point.

Kneecap8/102024 · 1h 45m · Rich Peppiatt
Lively and rowdy with quite a powerful story. The music is actually pretty good too.

The Holdovers8.5/102023 · 2h 13m · Alexander Payne
Really warm film with lots of heart. Great acting and character dynamics, one that has a real touch of humanity.

The Iron Claw8/102023 · 2h 12m · Sean Durkin
Solid film that is hard to believe comes from a true story. The pacing was a bit strange with certain things feeling a bit rushed, but overall it achieves quite a powerful movie.

Dìdi (弟弟)8/102024 · 1h 34m · Sean Wang
Very easy to watch film with lots of nostalgia, balancing the elements of laughter, struggle and tenderness very well.

A Real Pain8/102024 · 1h 30m · Jesse Eisenberg
Plenty of genuine laughs whilst also balancing the juxtaposition of deeper melancholic themes very well. The writing was sharp and intellectual, bringing both laughs and deep thought.
