  Triangle of Sadness 2022

  ★★★★ Rewatched 23 Sep 2023

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Looking back on media last year, it certainly had a lot of two things: donkeys and critiques on the rich. That may seem like two things you’d never associate with each other, but bear with me since these two are connected. Donkeys seemed to be something leading the awards race, seeing as Poland’s entry for Best International Feature Film at the Oscars was EO, whilst The Banshees of Inisherin had a donkey as a vital supporting player. Rich people were…

  M*A*S*H 1970

  ★★½ Watched 16 Sep 2023 3

  A name I’ve been hearing quite a bit in film discussions is “Robert Altman”, who isn’t known to the general public but has been a huge influence on some of the best directors working today (Paul Thomas Anderson, Noah Bombach, Richard Linklater, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Wes Anderson).

  The Banshees of Inisherin 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 05 Nov 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I know I usually reserve Irish films for St Paddy’s Day, but The Banshees of Inisherin was one I couldn’t pass up on covering (At least while the film is still fresh in people’s minds). This was probably one of my most anticipated films for 2022, not only because Martin McDonagh was back after 5 years, but because I heard all about its production from people in town (More on this later). It’s been met with a lot of acclaim…
