True Detective: Night Country: Part 5 (2024)
True Identity Crisis
Where to start. This season has no idea what it wants to be, but it's not True Detective. BUT the best episode this season.
Jodie Foster is always solid, and let's admit she's the one pulling any audience at all since Nic left the series as a showrunner. Quite disappointing she is NOT the main character, as anyone would expect with a two time Academy Award winner.
Like somebody else wrote, all the subplots are just a waste of time and result in absolutely nothing. We wanna now if the murders are from paranormal activities or not. We wanna have a conclusion, world building and character development. All the revelations just doesn't hit you in the feels since the writers haven't made them worthwhile to be emotionally invested in.
Nah. True Detective really was one season only, maybe two with season 3 included. This season isn't worthy of the fancy title.
Poor Things (2023)
Like nothing you've seen before
Career best from Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo and probably Lanthimos too. What a quartet!
It's a deadpan comedy, it's a coming-of-age story, it's an underdog story, it's a feminist story. This movie has so many layers. It truly deserves all Oscar nominations and even though it has tough competition, it will surely win for at least best actress. The cinematography, the writing (especially the whimsical dialogue) is all state of the art.
Starting of as a twisted Frankenstein story all in black and white, changing from popping colors when Emma Stone takes on both a mental and physical journey.
This is a must see. I'm smiling for ear to ear. Chef's kiss.
The Last of Us: Long, Long Time (2023)
Played on your heartstrings
Impeccably masterful episode. A sublime piece of art that will be talked about for a long time.
Acting, pace, feel, mood, photography, story, dialogue - I could go on and on, everything was perfection to me.
One of the most heart wrenching scenes I've ever seen was when Bill & Frank shared their last moments and "On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter started playing.
It's not only a rebirth for the worn out zombie-genre. It goes above and beyond to show you a new version of not only what a video game adaptation can be (in the right hands), also how to carefully retell and expand upon its source material.
Wow. Just wow.
