  I really wish this series could just be its own thing outside the “marvel” “universe”

  Creative team really should have given more control to whoever pitched “t-rex with big burly arms”

  Tenet 2020

  ★★★ Watched 26 Aug 2020 1

  A very cool sensorial experience, but emotionally shallow. It tries, but there’s too much time bullshit for character motivations and plot structure to survive. A movie made for endless YouTube explainers.

  Burning 2018

  ★★★★★ Watched 12 Feb 2019

  Wow. Whenever a filmmaker can find so much beauty and excitement in being deliberately mundane I sit up and pay attention.

  It’s slow. The smallest of details are just as carefully pondered as the grandiose gestures, all vividly blending together. The quiet moments compel the subjective experience of seeing rather than the objectivity of just looking, only to then make you question what you really saw. The mystery itself felt novel because it feeds off this slowness — instead of being built on plot twists or needless complexity, it’s challenging through imperfection by forcing you to see for yourself. Really great.
