Barbie 2023
I ken not say this is my favorite movie of the year, but it’s amazing. Its also not as good as Gerwig’s previous films, but it’s still amazing. Margot is incredible and her dramatic moments make the film. The stuff with her in the real world and the mother and daughter is the heart of the movie. Gosling is great, no one else really stands out, but everyone is just perfect. Michael Cera’s character was fun. The craft here is…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
Fuck. Love the first movie but wasn’t sure about this, the trailers never got me that excited. Obviously now that’s its been seen there’s so much hype, but despite being #1 of all time on Letterboxd it managed to blow me away. The Gwen prologue was just like the most beautiful thing ever, I was astonished. Everything was gorgeous. The characters were amazing, the music, the fucking editing, everything was perfect. Spot is an awesome villain and Miguel was absolutely…

One-Percenter 2023
Pretty average movie, brought up to 4 stars with the awesome fights. Also, using Claire de Lune in a martial arts film so soon after EEAAO is bold.

May December 2023
Unfortunately I did watch this on my phone on a plane, but I still loved it. It is so damn good to see Portman and Moore acting in real, good movies again. They are magical. And yet they are often outshined by Charles Melton. I have heard the praise for these 3 for months and it’s so ridiculous that Moore and Melton missed the Oscar noms. They are all perfect, and a lot of that comes from the brilliant character writing. In conclusion, I love Todd Haynes.

Babylon 2022
Nearly a year ago I read the leaked original script for what was already my most anticipated movie. There weren’t many changes so I knew what I was about to watch, and Chazelle constantly brought the page to life better than I imagined. When Margot Robbie was dancing at the party like I legitimately had chills. And then the first day on set the hectic editing was so fucking amazing. The film kinda peaked there in the first half, but…

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
Very funny and creative. The action and editing is easily the highlight for me. I didn’t connect to the emotional parts as much as a lot of people do, but that’s pretty much the only reason I wouldn’t give it 5 stars. I do appreciate the themes and everything was really well crafted. With the performances Quan was without a doubt the best. It’s amazing that Short Round came back as an adult and delivered this wonderful work.
