6. Loves Lies Bleeding. (3.6)
This movie is insane- it’s way more psychedelic and gore filled than I expected. Acting is great across the board. The character dynamics create amazing tension that builds up well throughout the film. One of my favorites of 2024.
5. All of Us Strangers. ( 3.9)
One of those movies that get better when you let it sit on your mind for a while. I could see how this is your favorite movie. It has a really unique view on mental health and great acting, while being just as hopeful as tragic.
4. Io Capitano. (3.9)
This is pure Garrone. To go there and make the film as it is, chronicling the journey in their language, with these actors and then be open to Marvel with the oil platform appearing as Sea Monsters, all leading to a phenomenal tenderness the likes no one else would ever dare to imagine in such a story!
3. Radical. (3.9)
Such a delicately crafted story—it defines the essence of feel good as a genre! It arises the question I often wonder and ask myself who are we without education and how many of the world’s solutions bears, change makers, and visionaries have existed but were not given a chance? The sad and unfortunate truth is that we do not choose our reality…
2. Zone of Interest. (3.9)
You could hear a pin drop in a packed house. As soon as it was over, I sat in quiet, absolutely distraught. In a decade full with important films, I believe this is one of the most significant, if not the most.
1. Perfect Days. (4.3)
Words cannot describe how perfect the timing of this film is. Two hours of my life I can only say “thank you” for. This film serves as a reminder that there is great value in life. There’s a lot to appreciate and there’s so much admirable beauty in everyday life.
