“If I had all this I would be kinder.”
Amazing — the hype is real; Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite is a masterpiece: tense, funny, abhorrent, aspirational, violent, and sweet, it’s not a film that you can put your finger on and is all the better for it; see immediately.

“We’re monitoring a suspicious individual to figure out if he has any money he doesn’t need.”
Less engaging that Zoller’s previous two films and far more performative, Dragged makes up for it with a beautiful mastery of language, interesting casting choices, and great pacing; worth catching.
★★★☆☆
“It’s alright. Charlie, you’re alright, now. You… are Paimon.”
A dense story, and eerily built such that once the reveal happens it changes everything that’s happened so far, colouring it with a demonic bent that’s so brilliant and hard to forget.
★★★★★
“We have real confidence in the mission, and there are some risks, but we have every intention of coming back.”
Beautifully directed, and for such an epic journey, incredibly intimate; it’s not a blockbuster, but a very entertaining film about the first man to step on the Moon.

“I created so many of the things you care about – the songs that give your life purpose and joy. When you were 15 and rebelling, you were rebelling to my music… That song was not written on distorted guitar. I wrote it. Here. Somewhere between a blowjob and an omelette. There is no rebellion, there is only me earning a pay-check.”
A wild blend of noir tropes and surrealism, this feels like a masterpiece that will take years to fully decode — incredibly divisive, either leaving you on the outside looking in or inside not knowing what’s going on but entranced never-the-less.
