  On the Bowery 1956

  ★★★ Watched 26 May 2023

  This is at its most interesting when it's just these people stuck in these circumstances talking with each other, whether real or scripted, and I think it might have worked better if it was just that for the whole runtime. Not bad really, just not a lot to grab onto for me. Has the editing and music of a 30s silent movie, which is interesting

  Peepli Live 2010

  ★★★½ Watched 20 May 2023

  Very funny and very incisive satire about media and political exploitation of people in need, and the specific situation of farmers in India. Despite being good overall and great in spots, it all feels just a bit slow and repetitive. I am glad I watched it though, it escalates well

  I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2020

  ★★★ Watched 04 Sep 2020 2

  This had 5 star potential, I was in love with the first half. The suspense, the discomfort, the mood, the dialogue, I was unbelievably hooked. Then it's like the movie tripped walking down a hill and just started tumbling faster and faster. The mood started to break, the fascinating became the nonsensical, the pretention reared its head, and then poof: nothing. It totally and completely lost me. I can't overstate my disappointment. At least the filmmaking itself was good I guess.

  Jessie Buckley is astounding though, please put her in more movies
