Cure 1997
Some films should not be viewed before bed and that goes especially so for Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure. One YouTuber I love who’s video I have yet to watch dubbed this ”The Scariest Non-Horror Film”, and now that I’ve seen the film I think he might be right.
Nothing in Cure is overtly scary and yet there’s a pervasive feeling as if someone or something is watching you. Many scenes in the film feature a static camera, seldom moving, enveloping the…

The Florida Project 2017
The Florida Project is one the most beautiful and painful depictions of poverty, adolescence, and life I’ve ever seen. Sometimes you see a movie so personal that it’s difficult to put in words how you connected to it, whether it be a feeling or an experience you had.

Overall a pretty good movie that left me wanting more

Sound of Metal 2019
Riz Ahmed! Riz Ahmed! Sound of Metal is the movie I’ve been waiting for from 2020. I never saw the trailer, just was sold on the premise and Riz Ahmed alone, so what I thought was going to be a bigger story of a drummer losing his hearing, turned out to be a very personal, expertly executed experience. The sound design makes you feel like Ruben. When he can’t hear neither can we, but it’s not used constantly, and first…
