BlackBerry 2023
Johnson's previous works, The Dirties and Operation Avalanche, use the mockumentary format and aesthetic as more than just mere framing devices for the stories, but as amplifiers of the secretive, apprehensive actions and events taking place within the narratives. The mockumentary form makes the audience feel like they are watching something that they shouldn't be seeing; an archival piece unearthed from padlocked cabinets. While Blackberry isn't explicitly a mockumentary, the aesthetic is no less prevalent here than it has been…

Blue Valentine 2010
Feels pretty fruitless to emphasise how genuinely heartbreaking and dread inducing this film is because, well, every single other review on this website does exactly that, but my god is this film devastating. Cianfrance executes a damn near flawless slow, hellish descent into domestic turmoil and reckoning in this thing. So authentic, beaming with the most genuine verisimilitude possible, it feels like the most upsetting home video imaginable. Bravo to everyone involved. Never fall in love, folks.

Boiling Point 2021
Effortlessly chaotic and anxiety inducing one-take films set in restaurants, starring Stephen Graham who gives a frighteningly intense performance too good for the Oscars, with beautiful camerawork and a haunting ending, is my favourite kind of film genre. And in that unusually and unrealistically specific sub genre of movies that I just made up, Boiling Point is my favourite of them all.
