    Frances Ha

    ★★★★★

    Some movies feel like home. Not because they offer comfort, but because they reflect back the chaos, uncertainty, and fleeting beauty of life in a way that feels deeply personal. Frances Ha is one of those movies for me. Every time I come back to it, I take something new from it—sometimes it makes me sad, sometimes it makes me feel understood.

    A Complete Unknown

    ★★★½

    The last half-hour is easily the best part, truly portraying Dylan’s internal conflict. He wasn’t just rebelling—he was searching for something more. The film raises an interesting question: Should artists have complete freedom to evolve or is resistance from fans or others a necessary force?

    Timothée does a wonderful job embodying Dylan—flawed, human, and a bit of an asshole, yet undeniably compelling. The supporting cast also delivers, but the film as a whole feels somewhat generic. It’s well-made but lacks a spark that would make it truly unforgettable. Overall it's a solid watch, just not one that lingers long after the credits roll.

This is unlike anything he has ever done, and yet it's the most Nolan-esque film out there. I mean, what else could you expect from a biopic made by Nolan?

    This is a pure arthouse film masquerading as a blockbuster. We all knew that Nolan had…
