Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2017, Denis Villeneuve, USA
  • 4 Comments

It doesn’t quite top the religious experience that is the 1982 film, but Denis Villeneuve and DP Roger Deakins have created a visually and thematically expansive arthouse blockbuster that deepens the mythology of its universe.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Sicario (2015)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2015, Denis Villeneuve, Mexico, USA
  • 2 Comments

Villeneuve’s film builds suspense like a worker laying bricks – slowly but surely, giving us a largely solid Mexican cartel infiltration thriller that packs a strong punch.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Prisoners (2013)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2013, Denis Villeneuve, USA
  • 5 Comments

Denis Villeneuve’s assured direction and Roger Deakins’ evocative cinematography elevates this seemingly generic suburban mystery-thriller into something that will shock and haunt you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Soul (2020)

  • Docter, Pete, Popular
  • 2020, Pete Docter, Pixar, USA
  • Leave a comment

It doesn’t always cohere with a creative concept that sometimes overreaches, but this is Pixar at its most existential, exploring the meaning of life at the crossroads of passion, purpose and living. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Inside Out (2015)

  • Docter, Pete, Popular
  • 2015, Pete Docter, Pixar, USA
  • 6 Comments

One of the very, very best in the Pixar canon, and that’s saying something.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Up (2009)

  • Docter, Pete, Popular
  • 2009, Pete Docter, Pixar, USA
  • 6 Comments

Pixar matures considerably with this delightful offering, despite an unimposing villain and a climax that feels too rushed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

  • Docter, Pete, Popular
  • 2001, Pete Docter, Pixar, USA
  • 6 Comments

One of Pixar’s best efforts, and still one of their most conceptually imaginative pictures to date.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Mank (2020)

  • Fincher, David
  • 2020, David Fincher, USA
  • Leave a comment

Despite Fincher’s highly-calibrated craft and an excellent performance by Gary Oldman, this is way too dense and dull an ode to Old Hollywood to even be considered remotely compelling.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

  • Popular
  • 2020, Patty Jenkins, USA
  • Leave a comment

Not as inspiring or thrilling as the first movie, this largely serviceable sequel has some interesting ideas that take too long to unpack and could benefit from a tighter edit.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.
