The most striking thing for me about this film was how objective it felt while still being beautiful. It felt warm, but stayed just a neutral observer.
Also, could this have been a documentary? Or maybe it was close enough, as is.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters 2019
Really enjoyed the titan designs and the various reference to previous Godzilla canon. It shows that the filmmakers are fans like everyone else.
But, it did get a little tiring towards the end.

The Old Guard 2020
The performances are WAY better than they need to be, especially from KiKi Layne.

Wendy 2020
It’s the trailer but long. Maybe style over substance, but the style is so good maybe it becomes substance? Clever adaptations of source material.
Color blind casting leads to diverse cast (good) but also leads to unfortunate parallels with magic Black person trope. Slightly more conscious casting could have avoided that and still kept the great cast. Although, I don’t think it actually follows that trope, since Peter has his own growth and lessons to learn.
I’d watch it again right now.

3:10 to Yuma 1957
Most of the real action takes place in a long scene in a hotel room in the form of a conversation.

The Slender Thread 1965
I thought this film would be about finding a reason to keep going when times are hard. But, it ends up being more about what lengths we'll go to to save someone.
Also, they have to physically trace the phone call and it's a major part of the plot.
