Robert Eggers doesn’t miss. This was easily one of my most anticipated films of 2022 and it did not disappoint in the slightest. The Northman is an unbridled and unforgivingly visceral revenge film that utilises its Viking setting to absolute perfection.
It’s clear how integral making the film look and feel authentic to the times was to Eggers. As I was watching the…
"The Bits That I Find Beautiful About Them Are The Bits That Are Most Alien To Me."
This is my in-depth analysis/review for Maggie Gyllenhaal’s debut film The Lost daughter so this review will contain heavy spoilers so I recommend you see the film before reading this review. Also just be prepared, I have a lot to say about this film so please brace yourself for a long ass review filled to the brim with possibly incorrect interpretations so please…
I genuinely never would of thought that this would be on Letterboxd, glad it is though because now I have an excuse to talk about Nirvana!

I’m sorry.
Everything Everywhere all at Once is the newest film from Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (Daniels) who previously directed Swiss Army Man and the studio behind it was A24 who are behind some of my all time favourite films and holy crap did people love this film. This was the number 1 film on Letterboxd for weeks and I genuinely haven’t seen a single negative review for…
“You know something, Utivich? I think this just might be my masterpiece.”
Ok, it’s finally happened, this film has finally fully clicked with me!
I think this was my third watch of this film and on my previous watches, it was very clear to me why people consider this to be a masterpiece. Because yes, it is. It’s just that for whatever reason, the film just didn’t quite click with me. I definitely liked it and I loved all the…
