A fantastic, cutting drama about depression that perfectly captures the horrors of mundane life, and the struggles of being an introvert. 

Fran is contradictory in many ways and I really found myself relating to the relief she feels in isolation, while still feeling a desire for interaction despite not really knowing what to do with it.

Daisy Ridley plays this to perfection, often without even needing to speak. I’m such a big fan of hers and I hope this opens up the door for more dramatic roles like this because I think this is the best work of her career.

Fizzles out a little in the second half and is a fairly traditional biopic, while still telling its story with a huge amount of compassion and respect. 

Fernanda Torres is as great as you’ve heard.

Holds up on the second viewing, about the same as the first! A sumptuous experience that’s not quite perfect, but incredibly bold and exciting for the state of modern cinema. We are in good hands as long as there are guys like Brady Corbet running around.

Didn’t like this as much as I hoped I would sadly. Certainly has a lot to like but falls way short of the standards set by Heller’s other outstanding films.

Amy Adams is excellent here and the glue that holds this thing together through all of the tonal mishmashing that just didn’t really work. 

Bonus points for the use of Divers by Joanna Newsom!

What’s better than this, just guys being dudes.

Not as arresting as the first but really strong once it gets going. Great third act even with the 10 endings.

Pour one out for a movie better than everything that got a Best Picture nomination over it (though yet to see Nickel Boys and I'm Still Here).

Heart breaks for Clarence Maclin missing the nod he is just incredible in this. My personal supporting actor winner for sure.

Truly one of the greatest films ever made.

A cold, darkly comedic portrait of failure and the circular nature of it.

The final truly great Coen brothers film and the last one that really has their essence. I also think it's their best.

Oscar Isaac more lead roles pleeeaaaaaaase.

Can you pretend to be afraid of something that’s not there?

Got given a bluray of this for Christmas so a third viewing was inevitable. 

Still the best film of 2024. Pure Jacob-core. The cosmic loneliness, weirdo cyber-thriller elements and tragic romanticism. Doesn’t get much better than this folks.

My first time watching this since it came out, so really it just felt like a first time viewing for me.

The movie is a complete mess but still manages to be fun and heartfelt all the way through even when the plot is getting twisted and twisted around in circles to the point where it loses itself.

Incredible cinema experience, great crowd reactions, especially to the bully Maguire stuff. Absolutely unhinged movie.

An emotional knockout of a documentary. I haven’t followed WWE since I was a teenager but I’ll always have a soft spot for it and the meaning it brings to so many lives.

Was mostly unfamiliar with Windham Rotunda so this was a great eye opening deep dive into his tragically short life and career. A phenomenal, larger than life person who oozes creativity and love, embodying everything a wrestler, entertainer, artist and family man should be.

A formulaic but all-encompassing doco, and one that really worked for me as someone who didn’t really know much of this story.

Not quite a weird girl classic but I very much enjoyed it and am glad to see its finding a deserved cult audience.

Didn’t find a whole lot to latch onto in terms of the plot but the vibes are on point, it wears its influences on its sleeve and does a good job riffing on them. Kathryn Newton is always a joy.
