Inside Llewyn Davis
★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

This film is drenched in that rare kind of melancholy that you just want to dissolve into, to live inside of. Soft, relaxing colour palette, refreshingly light on plot and all of it underscored by that gorgeous folk music. 

The melody of a warm, comforting embrace, but the harmonies are sorrow, pity, regret. I just love the Coens.

Breathtakingly drawn, full of the childish wonder we’ve come to expect from Studio Ghibli, but also packs a real emotional gut-punch. Above all else though, an exploration of grief, loss, and humanity as a whole that only an artist as eloquent in the language of film (and animation) as Hayao Miyazaki could compose. Very few can say they have truly mastered a medium, Miyazaki can confidently do so.

Obsession

Been a couple of hours since I came out of the theater and still struggling to form a coherent thought on this, still unable to shake that sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. Deeply, deeply evil film. Slowly pulls you in by channeling Kyoshi Kurosawa in all the best ways, then cranks the dial up to a hundred, breaks the dial and blows the fucking roof off. Whether she’s on screen or just a voice from the corner…

Didn’t think it was even possible but I think Timmy actually undersold this. As a seasoned ChalametHead he’s doing things here I honestly didn’t think he had in the locker. He beautifully dances on the thinnest of lines between insufferable and irresistible. Final shot is a sledgehammer to the chest. Score is an all-timer. This one’s special.

I could watch Josh O’Connor carry stuff up and down that ladder all day long

Wake Up Dead Man

Darker, thematically richer and much more character focused than either of the previous instalments. So fun to see with a packed out audience (fuck you Netflix and your ‘limited releases’). Still full of the absurdity and humor typical of Knives Out, but some real palpable tension I haven’t felt in these movies thus far. Genuinely gripping at points. As someone who didn’t mind Glass Onion, this blows it out of the fucking water. Josh O’Connor is a superstar, simple as that.

Hearing Daniel Craig say the word ‘pwned’ in 2025 is quite a shock to the system, love you peepaw
