  Nowhere 2023

  ★★★ Watched 01 Oct 2023

  As far as survival thrillers go, this is a pretty good one - even if the premise is pretty mediocre.

  It's made better by Anna Castillo's performance.

  Melancholia 2011

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Aug 2013

  I’ve liked, though not always enjoyed. Lars von Trier’s offerings over the past few years but for some reason, likely the combination of length and expectation, Melancholia escaped me. With his new film due for festival runs this winter, the time seemed ripe to catch up with his 2011 offering. Why did I wait so long?

  Undeniably beautiful, Melancholia is also my favourite of von Trier’s works. It’s his exploration of a woman suffering through depression on her wedding day…

  Wonder Woman 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 24 May 2017

  I have a few issues with it - namely the motivation behind one of the central moments in the 3rd act and a too-long action sequence - but otherwise, it's a total lovefest.

  At one point, I was so joyously happy, I even got a little teary-eyed.
