  1917 2019

  Watched by abdullah 17 Jan 2020 3

  I had the pleasure of going into this without seeing more than 30 seconds of footage from the film, and I'm very glad by my decision to steer clear of anything related to it.

  I watched the Golden Globes and saw 1917 and Sam Mendes win multiple awards and thought to myself, how is it possible for this movie to be that good that it'd beat the other nominees?
  Well, now I know. It just is that good. It's... perfect.…

  Conversations with Friends 2022

  Watched by abdullah 02 May 2022 1

  i’m loving these sally rooney adaptations. “normal people” was incredible. “conversations with friends” is excellent. “beautiful world, where are you” is going to be brilliant.

  
  joe alwyn & alison oliver are stars + the phoebe bridgers needle drop is very satisfying.

  Moon Knight 2022

  Watched by abdullah 29 Mar 2022

  First 4 episodes.

  Moon Knight feels like it’s set in an entirely different world. It’s refreshing to watch a marvel title that doesn’t rely on shock value or MCU relevancy. 

  Oscar Isaac perfectly balances multiple characters & Ethan Hawke’s presence in each scene is powerful. Issues lie within its production value, as is common with the MCU.

  Episode 3 is tedious, but stick around for 4 — that ending floored me. Very curious about the final 2 episodes.

  Friends: The Reunion 2021

  Watched by abdullah 26 May 2021 9

  underwhelming, to say the least. there was a lot of potential, especially for a show of this calibre. some wholesome moments but far too much time was wasted. 

  i’m on my 4th watch of the show right now. i love it so so much and i love these people. i’m thankful to warner for getting them together again but disappointed by the thought of what could have been.

  Scenes from a Marriage 2021

  Watched by abdullah 17 Sep 2021

  All 5 scenes. 

  What I found most intriguing about this is that each episode begins with Oscar/Jessica preparing for a scene. It immediately tells us that this is an analysis of the actors, not the characters. It writes in bold letters: this is an act, a play, a performance. 

  However, the brilliance of this unconventional introduction is that you need not be indulged for longer than 5 minutes to forget all about the act. Oscar, Jessica… they’re forgotten. You’re watching…
