The Banshees of Inisherin

The Banshees of Inisherin; Dark, dry comedy uses time and place to craft an original yarn about friendship unlike anything else. The tale won’t be to everyone’s taste but those that love quirky characters who populate remote villages will fall under the charm of these actors; B+

Eternals

Eternals; Beautiful, change of form for MCU, relying on exquisite landscapes & familial relationships over action/comedy (though there’s plenty of that as well—it’s just not the focus). Cast gathered is a great representative of many cultures, working wonderfully together; B+

Dunkirk

Dunkirk; Masterful recreation lacks emotional connection. Enemy absent on screen is an interesting choice, as well as the overdominant score. Intense in the moment with little lasting resonance afterwards. B+
