First time in a while where I watched a movie i can’t rate.

Not because I think it’s bad but for fear of loving it too much. Since the start of the year roughly I have grown serious appreciation for the 2020s in film.

While i don’t doubt it is probably the seminal comedy of the 21st century I just can’t stand it. I think the…

Yeah this movies got it.

I am floored. Such a simplistic premise but done with absolute perfection in my opinion. Absolutely floored I can’t speak for how well edited this film is and the camera feels like a lighting bolt you don’t know where it will strike.

I do wonder how American audiences will take to it but it’s bold and it works. Genuinely feels timeless, two actors of the highest prestige, 100 minutes long and a score that will…
