Letterboxd — Your life in film

I am not a Trekkie, but I do know a little about the show, so I was delighted by this reboot. Yes, it was a little cheesy, the crew didn't always feel like they were in danger and no one could understand the cute Russian guy, but what it lacks in originality, it makes up in great casting, interesting visuals and likeable characters. Looking forward to the sequel tonight.

I felt like I was watching two films at once most of the time - a rom-com and a drama, spliced together somewhat haphazardly. Some good performances and realistic depictions of modern relationships, though.

A really honest yet dignified portrayal of a young man's battle with a rare cancer. Not really a rewatchable venture, but a poignant story that will resonate even with those who haven't been touched by theis cruel disease.

Some people would watch a film like this and call it directionless drivel. Me? I eat this bleak, indie art-house sh*t for breakfast. Great performances, particularly from newcomer Jarvis, and the incomparable Fassbender. I love that everything I wanted to happen did, yet there was still room for the unfathomable. Memorable.

A dignified yet brutally honest protrayal of mental illness, the people it effects, and the people they effect in turn. A terrific performance from Lawrence. And who would have thought Bradley Cooper had that in him??

A haunting and sometimes disturbing portrait of a family on the brink of homelessness. This film was captured beautifully, acted incredibly and was visually arresting. Hawkes and Lawrence more than earned their Oscar nods.

This exactly the type of story that suits Christopher Nolan's large-scale vision, which is why (even though it is holey and sometimes confusing) Inception is a triumph compared to his dismal Batman franchise. Gordon-Levitt is such a sexy little man...

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Fun, silly and not too scary. A perfect family movie, really.

I could not this film. Funny, sweet and poignant. Just watch it.

This film looks amazing, the performances are measured and effective, but it was too long and it's insistence on using spy jargon polorised me as a viewer. Would probably be a four/five star film for a genre viewer, but didn't hit the mark for me.
