One of the most fascinating things for me is when a movie gets only one Oscar nomination. And it’s not as rare as one might think, as a quick Google search gives me at least 40+ different films (and they range from Grease (1978), Full Metal Jacket (1987), and The Mummy (1999)) to this movie. My silly and unachievable goal is…

I have been hearing great things about this movie for a while, so when I finally got the opportunity to watch it, I grabbed it. What is fascinating and scary to think about is that Never Rarely Sometimes Always was relevant and filmed long before Roe v. Wade was overruled in 2022. What a fucking disgrace that is. It’s…
This film is one of those simple, straight-to-the-point movies I admire. I am all for having a complex story with even more complex characters, but every here and there, it’s a blast to watch something that has a simple premise, gets to it quickly, and it knows when to end. And since the premise here…

We’ve had many cinematic duos, but I never thought I would crave more of this Nordic one, consisting of Thomas Vinterberg and Mads Mikkelsen. After The Hunt (2012) or Jagten, I was down to watch anything these two will decide to make next. And Another Round (or Druk) not only delivered, it reminded me why I love how much attention and well-deserved recognition movies…

I won’t lie; this movie totally “missed me”. Until I heard about it on Recotopia (a podcast I strongly recommend), I had never heard about it, and if I were to stumble upon it while browsing through streaming services, I would have probably just skipped past it. And that would be a bummer because I would have…

I am not going to lie; this film surprised me. And I will tell you why. From the far, it seems like your stereotypical “indie project that managed to win an Oscar” because it’s long, pretty to look at, and nothing much happens. All the Oscar promos I watched during The 93rd Academy Awards (2021) gave me…

It’s becoming increasingly rare to go into any movie not knowing anything about it, especially if you are interested in films. I vaguely remember some people talking about Black Bear around the time when it came out, praising the film and Aubrey Plaza. Since then, I forgot about this film until it popped up on Mubi (not an ad, even though…

If you read a few of my reviews, you know I like the phrase “I heard a lot about this film…” or some variation on that, because it is true as I love films and I try to keep up with everything that is coming out. But for one reason or another, Wolfwalkers escaped me until the…
