★★★  Roger Deakins is easily the best cinematographer of all time. This film has proven that. It is one of the most gorgeous and technically well-made movies of 2019. But it won the Golden Globe and BAFTA for Best Picture and I genuinely don’t understand why. This could be a camera tutorial rather than a film, it lacks heart or charm or soul. It’s a … Continue reading 1917 (2019) – Reviewed on 7th February 2020

★★★½ I was really impressed with this movie. After watching Uncut Gems, I wanted to explore the Safdie Brothers’ filmography and I’d heard great things about this movie. Due it’s short runtime, I was able to finish it in one sitting which is not usually easy for most movies. I was engaged throughout the runtime due to the breakneck pace of the film. It’s a … Continue reading Good Time (2017) – Reviewed on 6th February 2020

★★★★  If you think that the fact that Zodiac doesn’t have a clear-cut or satisfying ending is a reason to demerit the movie, then you don’t understand the point of it. Because it mirrors real life. There was no ‘ending’ per se. David Fincher is one of the most talented directors of all time. He doesn’t get enough praise, but I love every movie of … Continue reading Zodiac (2007) – Reviewed on 5th February 2020

★★★★½ Taika Watiti is proving to be one of the most unique filmmakers out there. He managed to make what I consider one of the best films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor: Ragnarok. I was always excited to see what he would make next after seeing that movie and I’m pleasantly surprised. I had heard a lot of mixed reactions towards this movie before … Continue reading Jojo Rabbit (2019) – Reviewed on 4th February 2020

BoJack Horseman is my favourite show. In my opinion, it’s the best show to grace Netflix. It’s been an incredible journey watching this masterpiece for the last 4 years. I was devastated when I heard that it was ending, but I’m glad this is the ending it got. This was the best possible ending this show could’ve received. It was so bold, so nuanced and … Continue reading BoJack Horseman Season 6 Part 2 (2020) Review

★★★★★  This is the most exciting and fast-paced movie I’ve ever watched in my life. Adam Sandler gives the best performance of his career. This movie is on a whole other level of overwhelming. It’s always hitting you with visuals and auditory cues. You can’t breathe for a second during this movie. It’s oddly therapeutic in a way. There are scenes where 5 different characters … Continue reading Uncut Gems (2019) – Reviewed on February 1st 2020

★★★★½  This movie is phenomenal! I can’t believe I hadn’t watched this before. This is one of the best, if not the best coming of age movies I have ever watched. Greta Gerwig is bang-on in her debut as a filmmaker and the Gerwig-Baumbach power couple has been making some of the best films of the last few years. Ronan is amazing as the titular … Continue reading Lady Bird (2017) – Reviewed on 25th January 2020

Ford v Ferrari 2019 ★★★★½ Watched 31 Dec, 2019 I had a lot of fun with this movie. It was highly enjoyable while being extremely well made which is tough to say for a lot of movies this year. James Mangold, who is hot off of Logan, carries the momentum even overtaking the brilliance of his previous outing. This movie does phenomenal things with its blockbuster budget which … Continue reading Ford v Ferrari (2019)

The Breakfast Club 1985 ★★★ Watched 30 Dec, 2019 Unpopular Opinion: This movie is kinda overrated. It’s fun (at least the second half), it’s interesting enough and the last thirty minutes are actually beautiful. But for most of the runtime, this feels like a slow-moving, old-fashioned train that is trying to say something but just ends up feeling dated. I understand why it’s so iconic and stuff but … Continue reading The Breakfast Club (1985)

The Perks of Being a Wallflower 2012 ★★★★★ Watched 30 Dec, 2019 This movie impacted me deeply in more ways than I can explain. I cried in a movie after years and that really says something. This movie was poetic, it was beautiful. It was so real and relatable. It was so refreshing and fun. I really enjoyed this experience and it was an experience more than a … Continue reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2019 ★★★ Watched 28 Dec, 2019 Holy shit, I have to review this movie. I’ll say one thing, no one will have the same opinion on this movie and this is mine. This movie is not good, I liked it initially but the more I thought about, the more I realized that it’s not good. On its own, it’s solid, it’s entertaining, … Continue reading Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) 2017 ★★★★★ Watched 28 Dec, 2019 After watching Marriage Story, I HAD TO go and watch Noah Baumbach’s other work and since this on Netflix, I decided to go for it. I did not regret my decision at all. This is such a unique and different film, I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s one of the most realistic movies I’ve ever … Continue reading The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) [2017]

The Two Popes 2019 ★★★★½ Watched 26 Dec, 2019 This movie is not for everyone. 60% of this film is a conversation, so a mainstream, casual, movie-viewer will find it slow-paced and boring. But if you have a love for cinema and a love for writing, you WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE! It’s incredibly shot. It’s so well shot that you can just get lost in the movie. The … Continue reading The Two Popes (2019)

Django Unchained 2012 ★★★★ Watched 10 Dec, 2019 Unpopular opinion – I don’t think this is a masterpiece. The film is amazing. It’s a very iconic and entertaining film throughout most of its run time. The acting is just breathtaking, Christopher Waltz gives one of the best performances of his career. And as expected from something by Tarantino, it’s still incredibly shot, amazing directed and just an overall … Continue reading Django Unchained (2012)
