Coriolanus may be the most based work by Shakespeare, but this Italian film is pretty bare bones, it chops down the tragedy to the most workable film script imaginable. The combat and warfare is a bit underwhelming, even by 60s standards, and the dialogue scenes are executed with no creativity or vision. I'd say the film gets most of the key themes across, I wouldn't watch it again, but I'd recommend...
Very interesting documentary. Though this deals with the u.f.o community, its main methods can be applied to almost any form of information. Basically it describes how the government would suggest alternative interpretations to advanced weapons and aerial technology being tested, create false documents and create the modern u.f.o. mythos. That u.f.o.'s are a cover for secret and experimental military...
Some modern movies wallow in woke bromides. Others have a progressive lecture or two, but otherwise offer straightforward stories.
And then there’s “You People.”
The film doesn’t flirt with...
Tár is not a film that is easily analyzed or critiqued, as it does not ebb and flow with the customary arcs and crescendos of mainstream storytelling. The beautifully chaotic and rousing orchestral soundtrack...

I am reviewing two films together because they don’t merit stand-alone reviews, but I want to say something about them anyway. It is just a coincidence that they both star Brad Pitt.
First,...
A film that's hard to write about without spoiling the plot. Full of pretension, melancholia and symbolism. The strange, surreal setting and circumstances set up at the beginning of the film are good hooks that made me want to see the plot unravel. There is a lot of dialogue to display contradictions of character and the indirect consequence of actions. There are Some good quotes about idol worship,...
A great romantic-comedy, mostly know by people for that one line Jack Nicholson repeats to a lady admirer of his books "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability", it's in many ways a very solid film, that is perhaps slightly to long but never gets boring. Nicholson plays Melvin, a recluse with compulsive-disorder, who makes it a habit of insulting people, this is really enjoyable...
A bleak, disheveled and decrepit comedy following two young, out of work actors, who share a flat in 1969. Something about the framing, directing and editing makes Withnail & I feel both absurd and realistic at the same time. The best scenes use comedic disgust, repulsion or anxiety very effectively and made me feel like I hated and sympathized with the two main character, matching the self loathing...
Another Monday, another win for Avatar: The Way of Water.
For the sixth straight weekend, James Cameron’s liquid epic snagged the top spot at the North American box office, pocketing another estimated...
What a lovely early example of a fantastical adventure film, naturally the film quality is no longer very good, but if you look beyond the grime you will find an imaginative, fun little piece, with beautiful matte paintings, well designed sets and colorful characters. It equally works well as a comedy, I think to viewers on this website seeing a bunch of early feminists, being kicked around is equally...
On The Waterfront is still a good film after so many years. expressive dialogue, acting and directing all around. I felt it was a bit over-dramatic at times, but the plot wraps up in such an iconic way, making a film you won't forget
Not a bad documentary, but overall it's far too long in my opinion, a fan of the music genre will most likely disagree, but to me synth-wave is just an enjoyable musical genre that I learned about from a lot of older alt-right websites. It's primarily a lot of interviews with musicians and bloggers, interspersed with almost satirical sketches and old 80's films. Overall I kinda get the impression,...
My new all-time favorite film, I really enjoyed watching this little gem and this film truly showed Godard's genius for showing the human condition. We get introduced to the main character of the film Nana, a typical example of the aesthete character, she is petty, cruel sometimes, mostly concerned with herself, given to bouts of sentimentality and extremes, which she later regrets again. She becomes...

I didn’t care much for season 1 of Amazon Prime and Critical Role’s The Legend of Vox Machina. I’m not sensitive about lowbrow humor, but it was a touch crass for me. I’m not...
