Oppenheimer (2023)
Masterpiece!
Christopher Nolan has created unbelievably powerful film about events that changed world forever.
Early 1900's. Golden age of science. Scientists like Albert Einstein, Niles Bohr, Otto Hahn, Enrico Fermi, Werner Heisenberg and of course J. Robert Oppenheimer. Changing world and our understanding of it unbelievably fast.
This is Oppenheimer's story. Story combining science, war and politics. When scientists were recruited to create most powerful weapon.
Manhattan project. Oppenheimer as it's leader. Trinity test. His life around that moment. His politics and personal relationships.
This film did give me everything I hoped and even more. My personal interests are mostly in biology and chemistry. But i consider myself having above average knowledge of quantum physics and history around it. And I'm really interested it as subject. So I think this film is to me is close to feeling, that superhero fans feel, when they see all their favorite heroes on big screen.
Just unbelievably powerful experience to science nerd like me. All those scientists and events in history that i have only read and seen documentaries about.
Technical masterpiece to sound and visuals. Just amazing cinematography.
I absolutely loved unique structure of this film. Small details really did make this film something so beautiful.
And I haven't even written about incredible ensemble cast this film has. Cillian Murphy is wonderful as J. Robert Oppenheimer. But also Robert Downey Jr. , Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh and so many amazing supporting performances. So many familiar faces.
Everything this just created perfect package.
This rewiew was very lengthy one because me rambling about my toughts.
But I just loved this film so much.

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
Wow!
Just wow!
This instantly became my favorite film from 2022 so far.
Also my favorite film from director Martin McDonagh.
Just unbelievably beautiful on so many levels.
This type of very dark and maybe even quite cold comedy is just my type.
I laughed in very many times to this film.
Some really smart comedy that isn't overdone at any moment.
But then this film also manages to be very melancholic and absolutely heartbreaking.
This all definitely made me cry quite a bit.
In heart of this story is very much about loneliness.
Really unique study of different human relationships.
We can see that two main characters once were great friends, but that has already changed when film has started.
Really great brother and sister relationship too.
And stories about multiple outcasts on remote land where love doesn't live.
So well crafted characters with unique personalities.
This screenplay is just wonderful.
It pulls just right strings at right moments.
Absolutely wonderful performances from Colin Farrel, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan.
And of course that donkey that just adds suprisingly much heart to this story.
Visually stunning film.
So beautiful cinematography.
Beautiful use of nature and setting of this film to really bring it alive.
I really can only hope that this would win as many Oscars that is possible.
This definitely woul be my pick to best picture so far.
Just beautiful.
Babylon (2022)
Apparently really divisive film that i absolutely loved.
Fourth film from director Damien Chazelle.
I'm not lying when i say that this might be my favorite from him.
Beautiful and crazy love letter to cimema.
Story set in early days of Hollywood when transition from silent films to talkies was happening.
It's told mainly from perspective pf three characters.
Up and coming film star, filmmaker and already famous actor.
Their rise to fame, struggles of keeping up with changing industry and downfalls.
Huge parties and filmmaking in different eras.
Many hilarious moments, but also some quite touching ones.
This film really is wild ride.
I'm kinda impressed how this film has almost every possible body fluid in it from tears and sweat to blood and feces.
Quite long film, but it never felt boring to me.
Fast paced with every scene being more crazy than another.
Amazing performances from main three Diego Calva, Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt.
And even more impressive and amazing ensemble as supporting cast.
So many great names.
Really amazing score.
Music in this really made me dance little bit in my cinema seat many times.
Also visually really beautiful film with great cinematography.
I definitely teared up little bit at the end during that tribute to films and filmmaking.
I just really loved this film, but i kinda understand why some people's didn't like this.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Avatar: Deus Ex Machina
Second part to James Cameron's box office hit from 2009.
I had to watch first part again today because i had forgotten very much of it.
This was quite good decision definitely.
This one was definitely faitful and really entertaining sequel to that.
Good action scifi film.
Visually really impressive.
Really long film and so much stuff had been stuffed in story.
This definitely had similar problems that first had.
While story in first one felt quite generic 2000's scifi story, in this story was definitely more modern.
And still something quite generic what we see nowadays quite a bit in similar films.
Again we have greedy humans that want resources from alien planet with some new tricks of course.
Now main characters from first film have formed family that they need to protect.
We see nice outcast story when they go live with water aliens that are different than these tree aliens.
Again main characters need to learn new things from this new aliens.
And of course they need to do cooperation to defeat common enemy.
It seems that i have seen all this before in many things.
All that water stuff was really cool definitely.
Good performances.
I honestly don't know how there will be even three more of these films.
Of course in end of this film is quite obvious Deus Ex Machina written in this that allows new films.
Or actually this film begins with one big Deus Ex Machina because every story needs familiar villain.
I will most likely watch other parts of this series because i have gotten this far.
Triangle of Sadness (2022)
Absolutely amazing sharp satire.
Palme D'or winner at Cannes this year from Ruben Östlund.
I surely didn't know what to expect.
Because this was something really absurd and wild.
Absolutely hilarious satire about rich peoples.
No boring points at all.
So interesting and somehow really unique story split in three quite different parts.
First one is like intro to two main characters and comedy was more subtle.
Second one definitely was the craziest one that made me laugh hysterically so many times.
Third chapter did continue do that same with also bringing more character study in story.
So interesting to see how power dynamics are changing constantly in this film.
Overall this film had so many great characters with unique personalities.
Nobody is that likable at all, but that definitely is the point.
Great performances from everyone.
Not that many bigger actors other than Woody Harrelson who was fantastic.
So sharp comedy.
This film was so wild ride.
Absolutely amazing.
Do Revenge (2022)
Netflix coming of age comedy with twist
Actually suprisingly good film.
Okay. I was expecting bad to mediocre Netflix romantic comedy.
But this actually was something little different maybe.
Fun story about two girls getting revenge from their bullies.
But there definitely was some twists that i didn't expect.
Maybe some parts felt little messy, but still plot was suprisingly quite clear and everything wrapped up nicely.
Of course there is cliches, but at some points film was clearly even playing with them.
Some nice homage to older coming of age films.
Camilla Mendes and Maya Hawke were both pretty great.
And i loved to see Talia Ryder in this, but i hoped that her part was bigger.
Suprisingly funny and entertaining revenge comedy that was worth the watch in my opinion.
Men (2022)
Beautifully messed up
What a beautifully strange and surreal experience.
It kinda left me speechless.
I personally really loved it.
Slowburn story that started quite normally, but gradually it gets more and more messed up.
This film was really able to cause some great anioxity.
I loved how Alex Garland used nature as one element to this film too.
Absolutely beautiful looking film.
Great cinematography.
Sound in this film was really great element too.
And of course Jessie Buckley is absolutely amazing.
I have seen that this film has gotten a lot of mixed reviews.
But i really loved it in all of it's craziness.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
My childhood is coming together!
No matter what peoples have said about these Jurassic World films, i have enjoyed these so much.
These brought piece of my childhood back.
I just love dinosaurs.
This was great ending to trilogy.
This brought back old and new.
I really liked how this film started with multiple storylines about different things.
And how they connected one by one so nicely.
More about ethics of prehistoric species in our modern world.
Some really good science fiction stuff.
Good action.
Great visual effects.
Overall well made film.
But most importantly so many different dinosaurs.
And this one had so many new species.
I was impressed that i'm still able to recognize so many of them.
And of course there is my childhood's favorite one, Giganotosaurus!
I really felt like i was child again while watching this film.
And of course old faces from Jurassic Park meet new characters.
This was just great.
Lot of fun moments.
So entertaining.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
This really suprised me.
Seriously this film doesn't have any right to be this amazing.
Like when trailer came out i still thinked that this was joke.
Like somehow this kinda film shouldn't work.
But this really was absolutely hilarious and delightful film.
Nicholas Cage playing Nicholas Cage.
What a great genre bending and unpredictable adventure this really was.
Obviously great performance from Nicholas Cage.
And Pedro Pascal pretty great too.
Just so meta film and unbelievably entertaining.
Nicholas Cage is national treasure.
He is legend.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Entertaining and fun, but not much else for me personally.
Okay i decided to go see what's the hype around this film.
I wasn't super excited from trailers so i didn't really have expectations at all.
But where is this all hype coming from?
Is there some kinda Tiktok trend about this or something that i don't know because i don't have Tiktok?
Or maybe this just wasn't for me.
Yeah this is very fast paced, fun and entertaining action comedy.
Not probably my favorite genres.
Multiverse story that to be honest would've been much more exciting about ten years ago.
Some nice relationship drama between characters, but in the end that felt quite shallow.
Now this basically is like Marvel movie script that was just polished to be something little more unique.
There definitely is certain strangness in this that was fun.
But still suprisingly conventional story.
Great performances definitely.
Visually beautiful film.
Attention to details was really good thing in this definitely.
Very entertaining and fun movie, but sadly not much more for me personally.
I'm happy that some others liked it more.
Tytöt tytöt tytöt (2022)
Quality coming of age film from Finland.
Finnish film that got audience award from Sundance this year.
So i was definitely interested in watching this one.
It's always really nice when finnish films get international attention.
I was really surprised how much I loved this.
Original title is Tytöt Tytöt Tytöt.
When translated that is quite literally Girls Girls Girls.
I don't necessarily know why they didn't keep that as title.
Because in this story three is quite important number.
Three girls.
Three fridays.
I find it really interesting how this story is mostly happening during three evenings.
Lot of things happens during those weeks between these three separate fridays.
Three different situations and problems that these girls have.
Mimmi who is having problems with her mental health and is searching her identity.
She also has family problems.
She is played by Aamu Milonoff.
Another actor from Milonoff family.
Her father is actor whose brothers are actors and tv persons in Finland.
Atleast i can tell her apart from other Milonoff's.
Then there is Emma who has been figure skater for almost her whole life.
She is getting ready for really important competition.
But she is having problems with one jump.
She is played by Linnea Leino.
Then there is Rönkkö who is searching her sexuality and love.
She doesn't feel passion from sex.
She is played by Eleonoora Kauhanen.
Really amazing performances.
I have heard that director Alli Haapasalo has taken some inspiration from Booksmart.
I can kinda feel that in this.
Really interesting story about coplex relationships between different young characters.
Everything felt so natural and real.
Like young people's really talk like this in Finland.
Really modern language is used.
I'm boy around same age than characters in this film.
Setting is Finland's capital city Helsinki.
I live just about 100 kilometers to north in smaller village.
So i feel that i haven't lived that similiar youth.
But i can still feel that this film was about suprisingly universal things.
I seriously got little bit emotional in the end.
Please, finnish filmmakers!
Make more this high quality films.
I really loved this.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)
Wizarding World is finally back.
No matter how much peoples love to hate these movies i has always liked this magical world so much.
This movie wasn't exception.
Really magical journey as always.
This was quite different movie from previous Fantastic Beasts movies.
This time problems were bigger but maybe more profound.
I probably liked this movie more than last one.
Suprisingly complex story that included politics and old rivalries.
This movie also has some really great comedic moments too.
This movie did bring more familiar things from Harry Potter series to Fantastic Beasts.
But things didn't feel too forced at all to me.
Technically nice as it should be.
Good performances from returning and new cast members.
Jude Law is great as Dumbledore.
But i absolutely loved Mads Mikkelsen as Grindewald.
I think that Johnny Depp would have been great too.
But Mads played that part quite differently.
So great actor takes place of another great actor.
Reasons might be not best, but i can't complain too much at all.
I was really entertained by this movie overall.
I might be only one, but i'm really excited about upcoming Fantastic Beasts movies.
C'mon C'mon (2021)
What a lovely film.
So heartwarming with some sadness in it's core.
Just naturalistic and so beautiful story.
So toughtfull and real coming of age story about humanity.
So emotional journey.
Even first five minutes made me cry.
But film also is full of delightful and funny moments.
So well crafted characters that unfold slowly.
That journalist point of view was really interesting.
I loved all those little interview bits.
Amazing performances from Joaquin Phoenix, Woody Norman and Gaby Hoffman especially.
Visually stunning.
At start i wasn't sure that B&W was necessary in this but it was beautifully used.
I'm so glad that i got to see this at cinema.
Overall beautiful experience.
Verdens verste menneske (2021)
I absolutely loved this film
So beautiful and unique.
Way story was divided in different lenght chapters made it so interesting and unpredictable.
Really beautiful story about searching yourself.
Story about real life.
So many absolutely hilarious moments.
But also some really heartwrenching chapters.
Somhow this felt quite small movie, but there was so much put into it.
So much heart and soul.
Really beautiful cinematography.
So vivid colors that honestly i haven't seen too often in films from nordic countries.
Great performances.
Renate Reinsve was absolutely amazing.
Great cinema experience.
Licorice Pizza (2021)
Absolutely amazing
I just loved this film.
Great story about youth.
Story about life.
And story about love.
So many hilarious moments and so many heartwarming ones too.
Great characters.
Lots of great conflicts that really shows difference between these main characters.
I personally found that this 15 year old adult and 25 year old child kinda relationship between main characters in this is really interesting.
I don't really understand all those controversies around this film.
Film itself explains these things well.
Absolutely amazing performances from young leads Cooper Hoffman and Alana Haim.
I really loved all of those appearances from bigger actors like Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn and Maya Rudolph for examples.
Film also looked beautiful.
Great cinematography.
This might well be some of my favorite movies from last year.
Doraibu mai kâ (2021)
I absolutely loved this film
There is something so beautiful and honest in this film.
Something than my english vocabulary isn't enough.
Soothing atmospheric feeling in it.
Lingering scenes that great cinematography just makes so much better and more effective.
Captivating story about loss, grief and guilt.
So emotional too.
This teather play aspect just makes everything in this story go together so well.
Everything had some kind of meaning.
Somehow quite unpredictable story too.
You don't need to know what happens next.
Many great tricks were used in editing to make scenes go so well and uniquely together.
So well crafted characters.
Many different views to same kinda problems in their life.
There is some certain sadness in these characters that really touched me.
Great performances.
And i really had to mention how this red Saab 900 Turbo was like own character in this movie.
If they had just used some random new grey colored Toyota it wouldn't have been nearly as effective and memorable.
Some so beautiful shots were just about driving.
I just didn't want this movie to end.
Almost 3h didn't feel nearly as long as it was.
Overall so amazing cinema experience.
After Yang (2021)
Beautiful!
Absolutely loved this film.
So beautiful in many ways.
Unique science fiction drama with so much heart.
Very emotional.
Great story about loss, grief and technology.
Story about passions and human life too.
It's clear that After Yang is set in future but it isn't really shown or said lot in film itself.
Great performances.
Colin Farrel was really good.
It was also really great to see Haley Lu Richardson working with Kogonada again.
Beautiful looking film too.
Really great cinematography.
I probably need to see this film again to fully appreciate everything.
Beautiful experience.
Palm Trees and Power Lines (2022)
Sundance 2022
Very solid first feature film from director Jamie Dack.
Really nice little indie coming of age film.
Peaceful and realistic slice of life kinda story.
I really liked it.
It was really nicely crafted.
I could understand motivations of every character.
There were some really nice family and frienship drama that i did relate in some levels.
But i can also see that this film will be very divisive.
There has been lot of conversations about age gap relationships in films lately.
But in this film that relationship is clearly supposed to be super uncomfortable and inappropriate.
And i mean super uncomfortable at so many momens.
Red flags were seen everywhere.
But i can really see that these kinda relationships are happening in real life.
Really well made film.
Nice looking.
Really naturalistic.
Mostly no soundtrack at all.
Nice performances.
I can see that Lily McInerney has bright future ahead.
She was really good in this.
Nice supporting performances too.
If this gets some really good studio to distribute it, i can really see it finding own audience.
I really hope so.
Or then it wil remain as little Sundance hidden gem.
I enjoyed my time watching this.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Actually and suprisingly quite great.
This was so entertaining and funny movie.
I don't even remember what happened in 2016 anymore.
Very fast based story and all kinda ridiculous and goofy stuff happening in this one.
Lots of fan service maybe but i'm completely ok when it's done well.
Very nice performances.
Paul Rudd as best teacher ever again was just great.
Then we do have funny kid named Podcast as fun sidekick.
Wallmart versions of Timothée Chalamlet and Zendaya were fun too.
But greatest character was definitely Phobie played by very young McKenna Grace.
Very smart nerd kid.
As science nerd i definitely identified with that character.
As kid i definitely was doing all kinda science stuff and my mom wasn't very interested at all.
Just great and funny character.
I loved this science aspect in this movie.
All those science jokes definitely made me laugh way more than they should've.
Just little nitpicking. As organic chemistry nerd i spotted in beginning of movie some strange molecular formulas at classrooms wall.
Oxygen and hydrogen doesn't form that kinda -O-H-O- bonds that were shown on that drawing. I don't know what has happened on that chemistry class.
Otherwise i really fould very many cool science facts from this movie.
I really enjoyed my time watching this movie.
Leave No Trace (2018)
I just love this movie so so much.
So beautiful.
Thomasin McKenzie and Ben Foster were both amazing in this.
This was Thomasin McKenzie's international breakthrough film.
Before this she had only done some stuff back at her home New Zealand and some at Australia.
So happy that her career really took off from this amazing performance.
This beautiful story tells about beautiful father and daughter relationship.
Ben Foster plays dad who suffers from PTSD because her service in military.
He and his daughter Tom are living in forest park.
They really have some unique chemistry.
They have their own ways of signaling to each other.
This is about how they both handle different situations very differently.
Tom maybe wants something more stable than her dad.
So beautiful looking film too.
I just love all nature and animals in this too.
This is actually one of my favorites films.
I just love it.
Last Night in Soho (2021)
One of the best films of this year definitely
I really loved it.
Story was really full of surprises.
I was actually surprised how much this was real horror movie too.
I like how Edgar Wright is trying something quite different and still it has his own look in it.
Anya Taylor-Joy was great in it but Thomasin McKenzie really stealed all scenes.
Maybe one of her best performances to this day.
Very different performance too.
Before this year she has mostly been in drama movies but this kinda horror really seems to fit for her too.
Her characters story goes very well around in this movie too.
I also low how this movie looks.
There definitely so many creative techniques used in it.
Like camera angles and nice edits.
And i know that all those edits weren't even edits.
Some are actually happening front of camera.
I like how many things are really made with using practical effects in this.
I love uses of music in this too.
Really amazing score overall too.
I really danced little bit on my seat in theater too on some poins.
I probably need to see this more times to really appreciate some things.
Hytti nro 6 (2021)
Finnish movie that won Grand Prix at Cannes this year.
Only finnish director that has won that before this was Aki Kaurismäki with The Man Without a Past 2002.
So i was very excited to see this one.
I'm always little skeptical with finnish movies.
But this ended up being very delightful movie.
Very good and beautiful story about finnish woman who travels across Russia to see petroglyphs in Murmansk.
Main part of movie is when she travels by train.
She meets russian guy and they are completely different peoples.
Their unique friendship develops beautifully.
There are also many other very different peoples who she meets in her journey.
Good and little less good peoples.
This movie has many sweet and funny moments in it.
It's mostly spoken in russian but it was very fun to hear finnish language in it too.
Very good performances from two leads definitely.
I also heard that this was chosen to be Finland's Oscar runner for foreign category.
So best of luck with that too.
CODA (2021)
CODA(Child of Deaf Adults) was so lovely.
Indie coming of age dramedy.
With good reviews.
Of course i wanted to see it.
I ended up loving this movie very much.
So sweet and very funny story.
It definitely has some quite ordinal high school coming of age movie plot points in it.
But this was so well made.
Most charming thing in this movie is that our main character Ruby is only hearing people in her family.
That definitely brings so much soul and unique look to this movie.
That also brings so many funny situations that i actually can imagine happening in this kinda families.
I also loved music side of this movie.
So good songs and beautiful singing.
Great performances from everyone.
I appreciate that they had chosen actors that are also deaf in real life for deaf characters.
Emilia Jones was really amazing.
I appreciate how much work she had done for this role.
Like she actually did learn sign language, singing and even fishing before her role.
So beautiful movie.
I laughed so much and then i also cried. Mostly out of happiness.
The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)
I absolutely loved this!
I was scared about many things like multiple different stories and black & white in this movie.
Those all ended up being perfect in this.
So unique experience.
Like it was most Wes Anderson movie that Wes Anderson movie can be.
But still so different.
I find it hard to compare this to any other movie.
So beautiful looking movie.
Those style switches were very well done.
Style changes in third story were probably most suprising and creative.
I loved all stories.
First story was probably my favorite one.
I was also surprised how explicit this movie was.
I loved how many great actors there were. So many familiar and also unfamiliar faces.
Great performances.
List would be too long if i would wrote about my favorites.
When movie ended my mouth was open and there were couple tears in my eye. But no crying.
Or maybe it was crying.
I just said out to myself goddammit how great movie this was.
As i said it was definitely experience.
