“Blues wasn't forced on us like that religion. Nah, we brought this from home.”

My second watch (in 70mm IMAX 😭) only proved to deepen my love and appreciation for this film. Not only is Sinners a perfect representation of a director in full-control, knowing exactly how to craft a thrilling movie, but it’s also an extensive exploration of the African American experience that is incredibly layered and deep in its thematic analysis.

I caught so many nuances on this watch that I missed before: lyrics in the blues music speaking to specific moments, the oppression of black Americans through the use of varying currencies, the way that Remmick’s promise of salvation mirrors the forced assimilation and white-washing of different cultures within our country. 

It’s so rich and so brilliant. It’s gonna be a tough movie to top this year for me.

Unfortunately this was sort of a hot mess. Tonally all over the map, failing to toe the line of the ridiculous-but-rip-roaring-good-time that the other McQuarrie installments bring to the table. This one just goes full ridiculous (@Lily would tag this “better if you don’t think too hard about science”), leading to lots of unintentional laughs throughout at just how nonsensical it all is, while also being incredibly self-serious. 

That being said, the 2 huge action set pieces are excellent, just as good as almost any action sequence in the franchise.  The plane sequence alone had me throwing up my hands and clutching my pearls throughout. If there’s one thing McQuarrie knows how to do, it’s build a thrilling action scene.

Those 2 scenes really saved the film for me, turning it into a messy but watchable good-time.

As much as I loved this story, I can’t lie and say I didn’t have a huge issue with its approach.

I saw a quote from Coogler where he likened the experience of seeing his new film Sinners to eating a “good meal”, but I’d argue he gave us a whole ass feast!

Sinners captured me from its very first moments with its stunning cinematography and thrilling score from maybe-already-legendary Ludwig Göransson. The way Coogler approaches this story like Southern Gothic folklore brings an otherworldly quality to the proceedings. From the very first moments, you know you’re in for something eerie and epic.

As the film goes on, Sinners turns into a quasi-musical, playing with the ways that culture and music connect us to the past and the future: a through-line for life itself. There’s a centerpiece sequence on the dancefloor of the club, fueled by the incredible blues stylings of Sammie, blending culture and music into an exalting generational experience that will undoubtedly be ed for years to come. 

Once Coogler’s film makes its shift into its vampiric sub-genre is when the real fun starts. And boy, does he use the vampire genre to thrilling metaphorical effect. I was shocked and surprised at the routes he took thematically here. He leaves us with so much to chew on about the ways that white people continue their oppression of black people, sucking them dry. But it was the metaphors of assimilation and religion that surprised me the most, exploring assimilation as form or oppression and the ways religion preys on the weak and the vulnerable, counteracting grief and struggle with a promise of salvation. 

I could absolutely see Sinners being the sort of genre film that takes 2025 by storm in a similar fashion to Get Out and The Substance. I sure hope it has the staying power to land the (I count 11 potential) Oscar nominations it really deserves next year. I can’t imagine that there will be 10 other films in 2025 that will top this. And what a joy it was to the experience Coogler’s brilliant film on 70mm projected onto an IMAX screen. I have a feeling I’ll be seeing it a couple more times before it leaves theaters. Thrilling, haunting, moving, boundary-pushing, genre-defying… it’s everything cinema should be.

Griffith’s wonderful The Ballad of Wallis Island wraps you in the warm embrace of a Nick Hornby film, accompanied by the folk musical stylings of a John Carney film. And what a winning combination that is. 

And what a brilliant performance by Tim Key here, walking a fine fiiiiine line between charming and maddening, but always in full control. He has here what stand to be some of the funniest line readings of 2025.

An absolutely miserable watch that I’ve had a tough time of assessing fully since I finished it last night. In many ways, it’s Mike Leigh’s best. Naked is a nihilistic and atmospheric feat like nothing else in his filmography. David Thewlis’s performance as Johnny is also probably a career-best in Leigh’s filmography, which is chock full of brilliant, layered, nuanced performances. The screenplay, while not as gratifying as some of his others, is a philosophy-major’s wet dream as Johnny drones on and on in a way only a misogynistic tortured-genius type could. 

Satisfying? No.
Brilliant? Depends how much you’re willing to handle.

When you’ve got actors like Phoenix, the always-dependable Judd Hirsch, a remarkable Christine Lahti, and the unsung hero of the film, Martha Plimpton, you don’t really have to. What starts as a pretty basic set-up slowly blooms into something more profound. I was an emotional mess at several moments near the end, mostly thanks to Foner’s wonderful screenplay and this brilliant cast interpreting her words. 

One of Lumet’s best films that doesn’t get talked enough about.

Stranger by the Lake 5up2x 2013 - ★★★★½ https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/dcoreyryan/film/stranger-by-the-lake/ letterboxd-review-845138236 Tue, 25 Mar 2025 12:53:05 +1300 2025-03-24 No Stranger by the Lake 2013 4.5 186992 <![CDATA[

I was surprised by how much I loved this one. Stranger by the Lake seems to be regarded by most here as a fun and steamy little gay thriller, but much like Franck with Michel, I discovered so much more than that hidden under its eerie guise. 

First and foremost, in the vain of many brilliant French films before it, Guiraudie’s film is an exploration of desire, and more specifically about gay male desire. He sets his film in an ambiguous time and place, because there’s a universality about the gay experience that he wants to touch on. There are realities about being queer that may never subside: living life in the shadows, fear of HIV/Aids, paranoia of being outed, lack of acceptance, struggle to form meaningful connections amongst a sex-driven culture. And somehow Guiraudie manages to fit all of these themes into this one taut package while not beating us over the head with any of them. Franck’s experiences at the lake are an encapsulation of all of these things at once.

The sexual desires that pulled Franck to this cruising beach and drew him towards Michel also allowed him to excuse the events he witnessed behind the trees that night (intentionally vague, no spoilers here). With Michel, he finally succeeds in landing the sort of desirable male package that he so greatly longs for, but in doing so, deludes himself to reality. While forming an actual meaningful connection with Henri steps away, his vanity allows him to withdraw from the depths of these conversations for a tryst in the brush with a man he knows to be a monster. 

For the sake of not spoiling anything, I’ll refrain from saying more. But there are many more layers to this film than I realized going in (plus it’s got the most graphic gay sex scenes I’ve ever seen outside of PornHub). I found it to be one of the most authentic encapsulations of the gay male experience I’ve ever seen.

Stranger by the Lake s the ranks of other incredible French films such as Fat Girl, The Piano Teacher, and Last Summer exploring sexual desire in bold and thrilling ways.

Capote 4a3b1w 2005 - ★★★★★ https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/dcoreyryan/film/capote/ letterboxd-review-840453382 Thu, 20 Mar 2025 05:38:39 +1300 2025-03-18 No Capote 2005 5.0 398 <![CDATA[

The shock I had coming to Capote’s Letterboxd page to find it rated a 3.7????? This is a stone-cold masterpiece and I feel sorry for anyone missing that. 

Having recently seen Richard Brooks’ brilliant film adaptation of In Cold Blood, I found this film to be less a biopic than a fascinating companion piece that expands on these subjects and further contextualizes the intentions and writings of Truman Capote. Capote, in search of a new story to write, instead finds something deeper: a companion. A man cut from the same cloth as himself but dealt a lesser hand by fate. Capote says, “It's as if Perry and I grew up in the same house. And one day he stood up and went out the back door, while I went out the front.” Capote is a damaged man himself, abandoned by his family at a young age, struggling with alcoholism, masking his pain and trauma through humor and partying. He’s a deeply layered character here, performed to perfection by the incomparable Philip Seymour Hoffman. In Perry, Capote not only finds a tragic subject for his next novel, but also a friend. Someone who can bring him a deeper understanding of the world and of himself. 

Perhaps the most important thing that Bennet Miller does in his direction is refuse to turn Capote into the hero of his own story. This was a flawed man, like Perry, finding and then exploiting a man in a position of vulnerability, also searching for understanding. Within this mutual understanding, these two men find solace, but to what end? Yes, Capote’s writing may bring a new perception of this killer and his heinous actions on the night of November 15th, 1959, but did this exploitation really benefit this man trapped behind bars, waiting to be put to death? 

A crime for a crime, one being punishable by death, and the other hailed as a literary masterpiece.

Doesn’t hit the same heights as his masterpiece Matewan, but Lone Star is still a successful film, digging into the corruption and racial tensions in small-town Texas. It’s pretty rich in its tapestry, which makes it a little hard to keep up with scene-to-scene. And the final twist and “acceptance” of said twist was a little bizarre to me. I also felt like this one really could’ve benefitted from better cinematography to bring an edge and grit to this story, the lighting techniques especially felt a little too TV movie to me at times.
