Aftersun 2022
I think that the fact that we can both see the sun, so even though we're not actually in the same place and we're not actually together, we kind of are in a way, you know? Like we're both underneath the same sky, so...kind of together.
Vignettes and fragments of memories, trying to understand what is impossible to understand. Aftersun takes the small moments we remember, accurate or not, and asks - was that a sign? Should I have known?…

Skinamarink 2022
Skinamarink requires absolute engagement on its own terms. Corny as it sounds, it really must be watched in the dark, with no distractions, for its horribly oppressive atmosphere to completely envelop the viewer - but if the effort is made, the film offers a deeply unsettling and experimental narrative about unknowable horror through the eyes of a child.
Taking inspiration from analogue horror series on YouTube like Local 58 and The Mandela Catalogue, Skinamarink is narratively murky with the aesthetic…

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 2022
weightless, grey, overlong, dull. neutered and cowardly politics, CGI that was dated a decade ago. there are moments of this where you can feel what coogler and the crew working actually wanted it to be - but as with all of these movies it is smothered, smeared over by the grey/beige veneer of nothing.

Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?
Can you?
This is a very 2000s movie. Will Smith is his typecast wise-cracking self, the CGI has aged like milk, people are wearing peak-Matrix-inspired leather trenchcoats - the works.
There is some interesting stuff here though. Plenty of questions are asked about labour…

Last Night in Soho 2021
how does a directorial style disappear this much? what happened with this script? all of edgar wright's energy and flair is distractingly absent. the actors are all doing their best with what they're given but they all feel so wasted. thomasin mackensie gives a great performance but the writing, especially for her character, is so strange - the twists are easy to see coming and the scares aren't scary. I wanted to love this!
