    Killers of the Flower Moon

    ★★★★½

    Seeing a new film in the cinema – from the director who truly made me fall in love with the art form – was an unbelievable feeling.

    I've been eagerly anticipating Killers of the Flower Moon since its announcement, welcoming the 3 and 1/2 hour runtime that ultimately feels like 2 and 1/2 hours.

    It's a behemoth of a film, following a story that angers you towards the disgusting and heartless tragedies that took place against the Osage Nation. Gladstone…

He doesn’t carry the movie though, Jodie Foster was also great and it’s one of the most tense movies I’ve watched. I see why it won 5 Oscars and is so critically acclaimed.

    The Truman Show

    ★★★★★

    This is a really special movie to me. One of the most brilliant concepts ever put to film, and is something I think everyone wonders at some point in their life. I don’t think I’ve ever felt as much sympathy for a character as I do for Truman. His whole life has been a lie and has been exploited for people’s enjoyment. When he finally is able to leave and live a normal life, it’s so bittersweet. Jim Carrey pulls…
