Speak No Evil 2022
I know Haneke is the inspiration thrown around in regards to this. I see why. If Ruben Östlund and Ari Aster collaborated, this is what they’d probably come up with.
Watch it, and you might regret it. Don’t watch it, and you will surely regret it.
One of the best modern, Danish movies made.

The Last Duel 2021
This made me want to reread the excellent “An Instance of the Fingerpost” by Iain Pears.
Also, Driver (EDIT: Affleck - don’t know how I got Driver) was nominated for a Razzie for this!? Whatdafark!? That’s beyond ridiculous!

Jungleland 2019
This feels like a million other indie movies, yet I couldn’t tell you exactly which. It’s just endlessly derivative. Well acted, though.

No One Gets Out Alive 2021
Just… well made. And the CGI? Way better than it should be in a movie on this budget.

The Venus Effect 2021
Yeah, I enjoyed this. Almost purely authentic dialogue, believable acting, pleasantly devoid of the “old people hate gay people” trope. The characters and problems facing the couple are believable and engaging. And I laughed, so who cares if the protagpnist couple’s love is doomed? ‘Cause, you know, it clearly is. One balks at making her sexuality her entire personality. The other has done just that to a large degree. Also, one loves nature, one yearns for the city. But like I said, it’s a rom-com, and I laughed and cared.

Hey, you guys? Great news! Hollywood’s gonna save us all from climate change with glib condescension.

Last Night in Soho 2021
“Psycho Repulsion Dead Again” may be Edawrd Wright’s worst film, but it’s also his least good film, and I’ll take that any day.
