  Air 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Apr 2023

  The cinema equivalent of soothing dad-rock; clearly everyone involved was having a great time, but hey, so were we. 
  I wish the 80s jukebox soundtrack was a little less overt, but otherwise all the details hit their marks.

  Beau Is Afraid 2023

  ★★½ Watched 24 Apr 2023

  Didn’t entirely work for me but is at least ambitious and wild in a way that I can respect - I’d much rather not enjoy watching something like this than the 500th instalment in some tired franchise.

  I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2020

  ★★★ Watched 04 Sep 2020 2

  Certainly manages to be unpredictable and purposefully unsettling, but despite finding many of the ideas pretty interesting I failed to connect with this. I need to accept that Kaufman’s direction just doesn’t work for me - in theory the idiosyncrasies of the structure and plot should be right up my alley, but instead I found myself either annoyed or bored by them.
