- DirectorAri AsterStarsJoaquin PhoenixPatti LuPoneAmy RyanFollowing the sudden death of his mother, a mild-mannered but anxiety-ridden man confronts his darkest fears as he embarks on an epic, Kafkaesque odyssey back home.8 - Completely Bonkers.

- DirectorAri AsterStarsFlorence PughJack ReynorVilhelm BlomgrenA couple travels to Northern Europe to visit a rural hometown's fabled Swedish mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.9 - so creative and original. Great acting, direction, soundtrack. Very tense so lacks rewatchability. Ari really knows how to make the viewers quirm. It’s like he knew exactly what a bad acid trip was like and visualized it. Brilliant filmmaking tbh

- DirectorDaniel KwanDaniel ScheinertStarsMichelle YeohStephanie HsuJamie Lee CurtisA middle-aged Chinese immigrant is swept up into an insane adventure in which she alone can save existence by exploring other universes and connecting with the lives she could have led.7.75 - Agree with the IMDB consensus rating. I enjoyed the movie, it was fun and most certainly an achievement when it comes to video editing and visuals. The name is a perfect description since there it’s very chaotic and complex when it comes to the visuals, however I think it’s trying really hard to drive a point home but in a way feels very inauthentic and messy. At times the story seems glued together and watered down obscured by complexity. The plot itself feels like it was written how Family guy writes jokes, completely random ideas thrown together, in this case saved by style and humor. There are definitely some good laughs and entertainment throughout. The lead actress killed it, the cut scenes and transitions were awesome. The script and dialogue wasn’t GREAT writing, at times it was mush that was trying to convince you it was big brained. The movie won more academy awards than any other movie in history so in that case I feel it is overhyped. MORE AWARDS THAN ANY MOVIE IN HISTORY LOL. I really don’t think it has the memorability aspect after having watched it weeks ago due to the rapid scene cuts. In fairness, it was better than the other best picture nominees.. Elvis, Top Gun seriously? Regardless, the concept itself was mixing Kung Fu hustle and the matrix, good at both but better than neither film. I guess that’s the conclusion, good at many thing but the best at none, but still a really good movie, just not the greatest film of all time like the (11 academy awards would suggest).

- DirectorRobert EggersStarsRobert PattinsonWillem DafoeValeriia KaramanTwo lighthouse keepers try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.8.5 - acting: 9.5 direction: 10 screenplay: 9 story: 7.5. Willem DeFoe is 10/10 acting performance here. One of the best I’ve ever seen. One could say the knock is there is not many answers, but it wasn’t intended to give them, this was a creative work of art. I was loving every second of it as it was playing. The ending leaves more to be desired, but that’s OK. Defoe was a 10 and Pattinson was a 9 only bc I don’t think his accent was consistent. It felt like it was truly something form the early 1900s. Captured the essence of a Twilight Zone episode while being twice as unsettling. Honestly genius work here.
- DirectorAlex GarlandStarsAlicia VikanderDomhnall GleesonOscar IsaacA young programmer is selected to participate in a ground-breaking experiment in synthetic intelligence by evaluating the human qualities of a highly advanced humanoid A.I.9 - Big Brain script.

- DirectorYorgos LanthimosStarsBarry G. BernsonHerb CaillouetBill CampSteven, a charismatic surgeon, is forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice after his life starts to fall apart, when the behavior of a teenage boy he has taken under his wing turns sinister.7 - UNSETTLING. Unique Dark Mystery/Thriller. Great cinematography and acting. Based on a Greek story from thousands of years ago set in modern times with the directors quirk added in. You may ask “wtf did I just watch” but it keeps you glued in the entire time. Also bizzare ending. I would watch again but wait a couple years probably but it’s very hard to forget.
- DirectorTi WestStarsMia GothDavid CorenswetTandi WrightIn 1918, a young woman on the brink of madness pursues stardom in a desperate attempt to escape the drudgery, isolation, and lovelessness of life on her parents' farm.5.5 - Campy slasher.

The all-night celebration morphs into a hallucinatory nightmare when they learn their sangria is laced with LSD.5.75 - mind fuck. Dancers drink LSD spiked sangria. art house. bad trip. Very crazy and interesting but takes 40 minutes for it to start and then chaos ensues. 6.5 - Credit to the director and actors, there is a 40 minute scene without a cut that is absolutely wild. Very well made and crazy but Loses points for; Takes too long to get to it, very dark at times and lack of overall plot or dialogue. Watch it.. but at your own risk lol.
