Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022
I’m almost positive Marvel thinks I’m a 2 year old that can’t understand complex emotions
Anyone else tired of the MCU at this point?

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
Even though the concept seems to be dense, the popularity of the “mind-bending” genre made this much easier to follow
I love the core of this movie
And the fact that that core has layers to it as well just takes the movie to another level -
CODA 2021
Let’s make Lady bird but she has talent but no Timotheé 😪
Actually I think this film rides off of characters who are treated very kindly through the writing, really only good things to say about it. I saw some other films this year that I thought were more complex, but maybe for Best Picture we needed a simple story about family, music, and small businesses triumphing over the federal government

The Worst Person in the World 2021
Great film that seeks to embody the millennial condition. I think that it could be more clear in its application of its prologue to the later chapters, but it certainly treats the viewer with tremendous respect to interpret it. A few creative scenes that I had mixed thoughts on, but they largely succeed in getting their point across.
Nothing truly happens TO the protagonist, this is really a film about having full autonomy of our lives unlike any other generation…

I Care a Lot 2020
Lady says you gotta play by the rules to make it in this world. Then she says you gotta break the rules to make it in this world. Makes no sense for an already unlikeable protagonist to have a wishy washy ideology. No sense at all.

The Batman 2022
I won’t discuss this movie in context of Nolan or Snyder, Reeves makes a VERY original take that works. I walked out feeling it was perfect, the 3 hours is felt just a little bit.
It takes its time. It develops its characters. It stays faithful to the core of Batman AND Bruce Wayne (Bruce’s trauma is so evident in Pattinson’s performance) and I’m sure some people will try to convince me otherwise at some point. But this is honestly a better movie than Dune or Blade Runner 2049 and I love it

Death on the Nile 2022
This one twists and turns better than Murder. Actually, now that I think about it, Death outdoes Murder in every aspect

The Lobster 2015
Purely giving this 4 stars because of the levels to which this movie communicated its themes on love and marriage
Otherwise it’s insanely bizarre and awkward, but so are relationships soooooooo
