Se7en (1995)

flawless direction as always, title sequence was awesome (reminded me of ahs’s?), kevin spacey was amazing, the plot was kind of typical but there was some good stuff in between the cop storyline.

8/10

The Help (2011)

great performances, long but I didn’t get bored at any point, beautifully shot, too many tearjerker moments to count, though I felt like some important things were probably missing.

8/10

A Dangerous Method (2011)

michael fassbender was great, keira knightley was brilliant and I loved listening to her voice, freud’s character wasn’t particularly likeable, loved the score, the clothes were SO BEAUTIFUL, the film was generally fascinating.

Children Of Men (2006)

that was good that was really good the direction was brilliant and cinematography amazing and the score&soundtrack were so perfect in causing dramatic scene transitions and one time blood spattered onto the camera and I realised it was a super long tracking shot god that was glorious it was literally like a video game and acting was good and there was no real conclusion which is kind of the only way it could end really I mean not all questions were answered and it was hopeful and also hopeless but the intensity never dropped and it was mostly satisfying wow coherency what’s that

8.5/10

The Runaways (2010)

LOVED IT. It’s true I’ve loved pretty much all of the music films I’ve ever seen but I also loved it as a film-lover, though it was a bit flat sometimes and seemed like things were missing. Also I kept getting distracted by the soundtrack because it was great.

8/10
