★★★★☆ | Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Drive My Car (2021)

A movie like one of those too-long meaningful car rides.

★★★☆☆ | Coralie Fargeat, The Substance (2024)

Disturbing, shrill, and blunt both in its images and symbolism. That is effective in its own way, like clubbing someone with an axe is effective in its own way.

★★★☆☆ | Danny Boyle, T2 Trainspotting (2017)

★★★★☆ | Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Drive My Car (2021)

A movie like one of those too-long car rides. It starts a bit too slow, your attention still tingling for distractions. But the once you let go you understand that the ride want to tell you something, even though it doesn't use words to tell you what.

Disturbing, shrill, and blunt both in its images and symbolism. That is effective in its own way, like clubbing someone with an axe is effective in its own way. Moore is courageous and amazing, mask and make-up masterful, but they only really work together. Once the latter pushes the further to the side, the movie somewhat loses its center.

★★★☆☆ | Danny Boyle, T2 Trainspotting (2017)

Sometimes in life it feels like there are some threads you have to pick up and do something with. They are reaching back to a time that might better be forgotten but can't. Closure then is too high an ideal. And yet the work is the work. The movie itself and the fact that it was made feels like this.
