    Saltburn

    ★★★★

    Well, this was a fucking wild one, eh?

    For the most part, I liked Saltburn quite a bit. Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan are one of the most intriguing pairings of the year, and they do not disappoint, especially Keoghan, who is as devilishly dark and mysterious as ever.

    The Northman

    ★★★

    Before I get into my review, I just want to make it clear that above all else, I desperately hope that The Northman succeeds at the box office. This is the type of ambitious, mid-budget passion project that is becoming increasingly rare in the current cinema landscape, so even though, as you’ll find out, I wasn’t crazy about this movie, please, if you have even an inkling of interest, go see the film and decide for yourself.
