My joker

Irreversible is, without exaggeration, one of the most disturbing and unpleasant films I’ve ever watched. I went into it knowing it was controversial, but I wasn’t prepared for just how empty and gratuitous it would feel. The film offers nothing but suffering  and is ultimately pointless.

Yes, I understand the concept: time destroys everything, violence begets violence, and so on. But instead of exploring those themes in any meaningful or reflective way, the film just throws them at the audience through shock value and misery. The reversed chronology is supposed to add a sense of tragedy or irony, but for me, it only made the experience more emotionally manipulative and disted.

The infamous scenes particularly that one felt exploitative, not purposeful. It’s not about starting a conversation or raising awareness. It’s just about making you uncomfortable, and honestly, that’s not art to me. That’s emotional punishment disguised as profundity.

The cinematography? Nauseating. Constant spinning, shaky shots, and flashing lights that made it physically difficult to watch. Dialogue? Shallow and often cringeworthy. Characters? Barely developed. It’s a film that hides behind its structure and shock instead of offering any real substance.

I haven’t seen any of Gaspar Noé’s other films, and frankly, after this one, I’m not interested. If this is his style pure nihilism dressed up as bold cinema. I want no part of it. Some might call it daring or uncompromising. I call it hollow and needlessly cruel.

Cecile is me when I don’t want to study, so I do everything else instead.

You know it’s a good film when Nick Cave composed the music.

The animation is mesmerizing, every frame looks like an illustration from some obscure sci-fi book. The story, while simple, carries a strong message about oppression, rebellion, and intelligence, without underestimating the audience. And then there’s the soundtrack. Absolutely incredible, psychedelic, and atmospheric, floating somewhere between a dream and a nightmare.

David Lynch is truly a genius when it comes to experimental filmmaking. He takes something as simple as people (or, well, rabbits) sitting in a room and turns it into pure psychological horror. There’s no logic, no clear narrative, yet it pulls you in like a dream you can’t escape.

A masterpiece of Croatian cinema and deserves far more recognition internationally.

For a film nearly a century old, Metropolis feels more futuristic than most sci-fi today. The visuals are breathtaking, from the massive industrial machines to the Art Deco aesthetic that still influences cyberpunk and dystopian films. Sooo goood!!!!

The way it perfectly captures the restless boredom and quiet sadness of being young.
The only teen movie I can rewatch.

Everything about this movie is beautifully crafted. This is my third time watching it, and I know I’ll be coming back to it again and again.

Such a good soundtrack

Best Will Smith movie.

Definitely has that Tarkovsky vibe slow, meditative, and sometimes a bit difficult to sit through, but oddly compelling at the same time. Both directors explore themes of God, the meaning of existence, and loss, which gives the film a deep, existential feel. There are long, lingering scenes that stretch time and can feel almost dreamlike. It’s not always easy to follow, but its beauty and ambition make it worth the journey. If you’re into films that ask big questions and take their time to explore them, this one’s worth a watch.

This was a tough watch at first. The minimalist set, the slow build-up, the way the town gradually reveals its true nature it all made me uncomfortable, almost to the point of wanting to turn it off. But I’m so glad I didn’t.
Because that ending? One of the most satisfying film endings ever. Watching everything unfold, seeing Grace finally reclaim her power it felt cathartic in a way I didn’t expect. After all the frustration and injustice, it was the perfect payoff.

I first watched zombieland when I was a kid, and honestly, it even scared me a little. I’m not sure if it was that opening scene with the clown zombie or just the overall chaos of the post-apocalyptic world, but it felt like too much at the time. Now, years later I rewatched it, this time with my girlfriend and realized just how special this movie is to me.

One of the most fascinating films I’ve ever watched. I was completely engrossed from start to finish, even though the entire story unfolds in just one room. No flashy visuals, no dramatic action sequences just pure dialogue. The conversations were so gripping and well-written that I couldn’t look away. It’s proof that great storytelling doesn’t need a grand setting, it just needs strong characters and compelling interactions. I’d recommend it to anyone who loves films that rely on atmosphere and human connection over spectacle. Absolutely brilliant.

Best Lynch movie.

Oh, how I love it when women direct films.

I’ve never felt more at peace watching a film, yet it left me with a quiet, lingering emptiness. Wim Wenders crafts a story that feels like a slow exhale a meditative journey through loss, redemption, and the vast loneliness of the human experience.

Arrival is my interstellar

I love Noppo with my whole heart

THIS is what I call an action movie!!

I watched this film for the first time today, and honestly, it’s really good, but every time I watch a film by Polanski, I feel a sense of discomfort inside. The film is good and interesting, but Polanski just doesn’t sit well with me when I know what he has done in the past.

Honestly I was amazed at how good this series is. So happy I came across this!! Certainly better than Lynch movie.
