Sōsō no Frieren wird von vielen als der beste Anime angesehen, der bis heute veröffentlicht wurde, ein modernes Masterpiece, das der Perfektion so nahe kommt, wie es nur möglich ist. Diejenigen, die der fast unsterblichen Elfe noch nicht begegnet sind, fragen sich wahrscheinlich: „Ist es wirklich so gut?“ Aus der…

After the fun and entertaining reboot, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire falls into the typical blockbuster mediocrity we see so often today. Sure, there are plenty of callbacks to the original films, and they’re nice, but it doesn't really make up for how bland the main story feels. There’s not a single scene that really…

Knock at the Cabin is classic Shyamalan. At first, it gave me strong Servant vibes—probably because Rupert Grint is in this one too. But then it shifts gears, leaning more towards The Village, with that signature uneasy tension that starts to feel a bit illogical. The concept is cool, but it plays with such extreme…

A solid modern allegory with a touch of Kaufman vibes, and I really enjoyed it. A big part of that is Nicolas Cage in the lead, playing it deliberately average, almost dull—and yet, you still buy into the underlying madness brewing in his head. It's minimalist in its humor, but the concept is something every true film…

An inventive look at Norway's industrial fishing industry, but with a family drama twist that feels straight out of a romance novel—which, honestly, I didn’t expect from the Scandinavians. Then again, with Norwegian cinema, you can expect just about anything. The focus on salmon, the beautiful Nordic landscapes, and…

Sousou no Frieren is being hailed by many as the best anime released to this day, a modern masterpiece that comes as close to perfection as possible. For those yet to encounter the nearly immortal elf, you might be wondering, "Is it really that good?" Speaking as someone who has been immersed in anime for 14 years,…

A History of Violence is a slow-moving film that has little action (and it's terribly naive and stupid), the main theme is addressed only superficially, and even Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris don't really save it. The reveal in the second half wasn't surprising, the film flowed so blandly that I actually have no…

Black Box looks like an A-list film, but all the rest is catastrophic garbage that doesn't deserve attention. A man loses his memory after an accident, so he goes to sessions where he uses technology to remember. Eventually, however, it all turns out to be a little different. It sounds promising on paper, but the…

In Bruges was excellent, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was bad, and Seven Psychopaths was a golden, solid above average. Martin McDonagh is a distinctive filmmaker and his signature is evident. At first glance the film feels rudimentary and uninteresting, but when you delve deeper, you get polished…
