  Lincoln 2012

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Jun 2023

  This doesn't hit like a stale biopic at all to me, and I think that's down to a fantastic screenplay and genuinely great acting. Praising DDL is a massive cliche, but he literally embodies what your mental image of what Lincoln as a president was. I don't know how accurate this is obviously, but it's a compelling look at someone trying to accomplish something meaningfully good against almost all of his peers' judgement and by whatever means necessary.

  La Ciénaga 2001

  ★★★½ Watched 03 Jun 2023

  The cinematic equivalent of placing purgatory inside of a black hole filled with mud.

  I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2020

  ★★★ Watched 04 Sep 2020 2

  This had 5 star potential, I was in love with the first half. The suspense, the discomfort, the mood, the dialogue, I was unbelievably hooked. Then it's like the movie tripped walking down a hill and just started tumbling faster and faster. The mood started to break, the fascinating became the nonsensical, the pretention reared its head, and then poof: nothing. It totally and completely lost me. I can't overstate my disappointment. At least the filmmaking itself was good I guess.

  Jessie Buckley is astounding though, please put her in more movies
