“We’re lighter, we’re faster, and if that don’t work, we’re nastier.”
A really solid movie for grown-ups that could have easily become an all-out action racing drama but instead was something closer to a space film: a team’s human engineering efforts against all odds with some excellent driving sequences — I definitely drove my car a little faster home after watching it.
★★★★☆
“I think you’ll find that metal is the strongest thing on the earth followed by dynamite and then muscles.”
I really dig Taika Waititi’s brand of humour and intricate but light story-telling; Jojo Rabbit is hilarious at times, gut-wrenching at others, and comes together to form something really great.

“Your grandma’s on the roof.”
Didn’t quite hit me as hard as it did for immigrant friends, but this is so well done and personal, Awkwafina is a star.
★★★★☆
“All of our oracles are deliberate products of inbreeding.”
For a movie set in the idyllic Swedish countryside in the height of summer-time, this couldn’t be a darker and more dread-inducing movie – a fantastic film that grew on me over the week after seeing it; a worthy followup to the brilliant Hereditary.
★★★★★
“Their flight climaxed centuries of dreaming and months and years of planning and training.”
Sensational, a really important film that uses exclusively footage from the event (and those surrounding it) without voiceover or talking heads to tell one of history’s best stories in a new and compelling way.
