"No child left behind"
What can I even say to describe how much I loved Hunt for the Wilderpeople! Taika Waititi has a real 'knack' for taking on heavy topics, but leaving you feeling light, maybe he should have his own genre named after him...you've outdone yourself!
I'm going to start with the beautiful scenery that HftW showcased, it was almost like a character in itself. It's no wonder so much of the world thinks NZ is some magical make-believe…
Wow...
What a great job László Nemes and his team did with Son of Saul. A film about the Sonderkommando was never going to be easy, you might think, any film about the Holocaust won't be easy, but the topic Sonderkommando takes it to a whole new level of awful.
Not only were these men imprisoned like the rest of the camp detainees, but they were the poor souls who were forced to keep people calm as they undressed before…
"I'm so Chinese. I'm an econ professor that's lactose intolerant."
After a long day of drinking, then watching some absolutely unforgiving episodes of The Haunting of Hill House, I needed something a little lighter to finish the night. My bf suggested Crazy Rich Asians and since he hadn't seen it yet, it was the perfect opportunity to see it again.
While it didn't quite have the impact of seeing it the first time around, it was still a fun watch…
It took me weeks to build myself up to watch this. I knew that it was going to give me the feels, but I knew it would be amazing, I just couldn't bring myself to watch it.
I finally did two weekends ago. I've recently been studying slavery and I thought at the end of reading about it for 5 hours, that I would be sufficiently ready for it, that my skin would have gotten a bit thicker to take…
"There's been an awakening. Have you felt it? The Dark side, and the Light."
First of all, there's no spoilers in here whatsoever!
After my first watch of Episode 7, I must say I am over the moon with what J.J. Abrams has done with the franchise! It was fresh, fun, action packed and there was just the right amount of old and new put together!
Fucking brilliant! I can't wait to see it again and write a fuller review…
