| 60 35% | Permanent Vacation (1980) - Rated 30 Nov 2024
"Managed to make a pretentious film in Tribeca before Tribeca even became pretentious. (As usual with Jarmusch, the score is great though!)"
|
| 65 47% | Passages (2023) - Rated 22 Oct 2024
"Pleasant enough (I mean, there's pretty people and Paris interiors), but has surprisingly little to say."
|
| 65 47% | In the Aisles (2018) - Rated 29 Jun 2024
"Interesting setting and Germany's two best actors in the lead (plus great casting for the supporting cast as well), but a bit too constructed for my tastes - as if it was just combining elements from different movies that might give it a shot at festivals."

| 90 97% | Suzhou River (2000) - Rated 05 Jun 2024
"Unconstrained and playful with both story and filmmaking - better than I remembered it!"
|
| 65 47% | Dead Pigs (2018) - Rated 19 Nov 2023 |
| 65 47% | Groundhog Day (1993) - Rated 14 Oct 2023
"Harmless 90's fun - holds up to a rewatch quite well except for the drawn-out romance parts."
|
| 55 26% | The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) - Rated 14 Oct 2023
"A great production (in case you haven't heard), but many disconnected plot elements that just appear to be ticking off stuff from the novel they wanted to get in. Way too long and unfocused - and way too much pathos in the acting!"
|
| 75 77% | Licorice Pizza (2021) - Rated 14 Oct 2023
"While this felt more like separate segments rather than one continuous movie, all of the segments are entertaining to watch and PTA's directing (needless to say) is spot-on. Such great fun watching Haim shout at basically everyone too!"
|
| 60 35% | White Building (2021) - Rated 20 Aug 2023
"Suffers from a lot of developing country arthouse ailments (oh, these meaningful, minute-long stares!), but hey, it's not like we're spoiled for choice when it comes to Cambodian movies available internationally."
|
| 65 47% | Aftersun (2022) - Rated 18 May 2023
"This at times just goes through the motions. It also hides what it's on about until quite late (at least to me), so that I couldn't really find a way to connect to it."
