Katyn

Disturbing movie about the Katyn massacre, a little known event from Polish history wrapped up in lies and propaganda. Various soldiers, politicians, and people who might threaten Stalin's control were killed. What do the families of the victims believe? Do they believe the Nazis, who say the Russians killed them and they merely discovered the bodies? Or the Russians who insist that the men died three years after their original deaths? Its fucked man.

Shazam

This movie was fun and visually great with good arcs. I didn't feel the same pressure to enjoy it as I did with Marvel movies. Dumb fun is good. I need more of it.

Bad Times at the El Royale

I put this on at a whim and it skyrocketed up to one of my favorite movies of all time. I was transfixed for every single second. What a stellar, incredible, immaculate film.

A Woman in Berlin

That's. That's a rough one, fellas.

The Guardians/Les Gardinnes

Its very slow but it doesn't feel wasted? Its crafting an aesthetic before it hits you hard in the chest. Its tells a really personal feeling story about sacrifices for family and a tragedy about the things you lost for it.
