Flowed a lot better for me this time around. First still better tho, but still a lot of fun. Way worse things on Netflix let alone originals.

Decision to Leave 2022
One of my favorites this year fs. Park creates something so stylistically different from his other movies and it totally worked for me. Easily some of the best performances this year from Park and Tan with stellar cinematography as well. Really wish I saw this in theaters.

Avatar: The Way of Water 2022
After a bit of a rough start, it completely finds it's footing. Bold, intimate spectacle that mostly worked for me. Excited to see it again and check out the first one.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio 2022
Del Toro is such a goat. This movie handles such mature themes like the importance of life and the presence of death way more than most movies do let alone a kids movie. Something truly special.

Violent Night 2022
I wish this was better, first 2/3s of this are a bit of a slog but the third act was a blast. Wish that the action was more consistent, but overall worth watching just for the moments when they do go all out with it.

Bones and All 2022
Corny moments aside, I thought this was great. Chalamet and Russell deliver great performances, Khachaturan's cinematography is equally grizzly and beautiful, and Guadagnino does a very good job at balancing tones. Def think this is one worth checking out if you can stomach the gore.

The Banshees of Inisherin 2022
Probably my favorite McDonaugh though I have to rewatch In Bruges. Both Farrell and Gleeson are phenomenal here and the writing never takes away from the very heavy themes it's dealing with while still being damn funny. Highly recommend this one.

The Fabelmans 2022
Very good, consistently engaging despite it's lengthy runtime. Great performances from everyone involved and one of the best endings of the year.
