The Worst Person in the World 2021
Never wanted this to end, even when it got painful. The speech about having nothing but the objects you've collected is gonna haunt me for weeks. Norwegian Dakota Johnson could destroy my life if she wanted to and I'd say thank you do it again. Fuck! What a film. My favorite of the year.

Gattaca 1997
Has all of the necessary ingredients for being one of my all-time favorites:
- grounded/elevated sci-fi
- great cast, who all just happen to be at the peak of their hotness
- gorgeous, emotionally manipulative score
- deep and overwhelming undercurrent of sadness/melancholyI just think it's neat! Five stars.
