Borrowed lives
Movies are how I borrow lives I'll never live. A few that stuck. A couple I wish I hadn't watched. Hand-picked from my Letterboxd.
The chemistry between Ryan Gosling and a rock-tarantula alien is what makes this exceptional. You end up wanting the happiest ending of it all.
What they're advertising isn't violence, it's psychotic madness. I wish I could give it zero stars.
Owen Cooper is 15 and he'll win the Emmy. The single-shot take is exceptional throughout, and the third episode is the one I keep thinking about.
Stopped mid-way to doom-scroll 15-second videos instead. That was better than finishing this.
Slow-paced but never drags. The twists land in a way that feels entirely fresh and unexpected.
My favorite thriller in recent memory. The dialogue flows. "The sin of certainty" will stay with me for a while.
