Living my life. Doing nothing in particular. And then my phone started going off. That’s how it started. No trailer. No press tour. No countdown clock or carefully coordinated social media rollout. Just Ebon Moss-Bachrach posting on his Instagram — COUSINS! PRIMOS! CUGINI!!! Get ready for GARY!!!! — and suddenly the internet was in full collective meltdown, because FX and Hulu had dropped a brand new, completely unannounced, hour-long episode of The Bear out of […]

If you haven’t seen it yet, stop reading immediately. I mean it. Come back after you’ve watched. Okay, here’s the thing about Yorgos Lanthimos—he’s not exactly known for making feel-good cinema. But Bugonia, his latest collaboration with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, might be the bleakest, most nihilistic film he’s ever made. And I’m including The Killing of a Sacred Deer […]

I’m going to walk through the movie from beginning to end, unpack what it’s really doing, and explain why its final act turns a great drama into a Best Picture–level achievement. Not only do I think it’s worthy of its nomination, I also believe that it should win the best picture slot… it is exceedingly better than every other movie nominated this year. It soars above the competition, its […]

It’s an A24 movie afterall, and I’ve yet to watch an A24 movie that I didn’t swoon over. And for about 90% of its runtime, I kind of did. This is one of those movies you champion on craft alone. The kind you recommend to fellow film nerds with a breathless, “You have to see how well this thing is made,” even while quietly bracing yourself for the inevitable follow-up question: “Yeah, but did […]

Netflix’s The Beast in Me, starring Claire Danes (Romeo + Juliet, Homeland, My So Called Life) and Matthew Rhys (The Americans, The Post), is exactly that kind of show. It’s a psychological chess match disguised as a character study, built on one of the most deliciously […]

You know the kind – the ones with the characters that literally leap off the page and are fully fleshed out via dialog and settings? Well, that’s what we have here with After the Hunt. Just a brilliant, mind-ripping drama, with gloriously complicated settings and fantastic characters. Directed by Luca Guadagnino and written by Nora Garrett, After the Hunt is a psychological, academic-thriller set in an elite university environment. It stars Julia Roberts as […]

Black Rabbit is a tight, emotionally raw, limited series that blends crime, family drama, and the seductive underworld of New York’s restaurant-scene. It carries weight thanks to the dynamic between two very flawed but deeply connected brothers, played by Jude Law (Jake) and Jason Bateman (Vince). It’s not just a thriller: it’s about ambition, loyalty, guilt, and how past trauma can unravel one’s life in surprising ways. For anyone who likes morally ambiguous characters, […]

Are you interested in finding dialogue rich, or action movies that involve the same mechanics as The Long Walk… you know more last man standing movies? There are plenty to choose from – but they are a really small sub-genre of film that you have to be pretty well-versed in to know about them. So I figured I’d put together 10 movies in this same space in order to stimulate your […]

If you’re into tense, stripped-down survival dramas that fuse psychological pressure with biting social commentary, The Long Walk is a must-watch. Think of films like Circle, The Hunger Games, The Platform, The Cube, The Exam or Battle Royale – movies that take a high-concept premise and then zoom in on human choices, endurance, and morality under extreme duress. That’s the terrain here, and […]
