Upgraded my review from 2 to 4 stars. Admittedly, I cringed so hard the first time I seen Jamie Foxx stare at that picture of the Maldives that I shut it off. Decided to ignore that part years later and enjoyed the rest thoroughly. I still hate that part though.

Our Father 2022
As usual, Netflix takes an interesting subject and coats it in cringe production value.

Men 2022
I'm aware that this will sound like a Ben Shapiro movie review, but there really isn't much more to this than "all men are same, all men bad". I really tried to consider others angles that give this movie a deeper meaning, but I just can't get there.
Maybe there's an argument to be made that this getaway is her self-imposed purgatory for the guilt of her husband's death... But I fear that may be giving the movie too much credit.
1.5 stars because the movie is visually appealing.

Vagrant 2020
I really shouldn't like this film as much as I did, as it has some of the worst performances I've seen in a long time (but maybe I'm just thrown by the hilariously thick Alberta accents) and some pacing issues that had me a little confused.
That said, it's actually quite moving, and I believe it accurately reflects the way the Canadian homeless underclass is treated in society. Vagrant's sincere storytelling and the genuinely beaten down performance of the lead carries it for me. Plus, I love dogs.

Licorice Pizza 2021
Would be 5 stars, except Anderson refused to credit John C Reilly's tour de force portrayal of Herman Munster.

The Immortal 2019
My Italiano friend from Woodbridge told me to watch "Gomorrah". It's the only good advice he's ever given me.
