#5! The Brutalist. I'm not sure I've ever seen a film with an intermission at the cinema before. Is it weird that that was kinda the main draw? I enjoyed this though, no masterpiece but it kept me fully engaged for the full 3.5hrs and the song at the end is a truly bizarre choice (positive). - ThreadSky

#6 The Seed of the Sacred Fig. Almost three hours of Iranian political thrills! Documentary footage blended into the narrative packs a punch - great performances from the central family although I thought the final act wasn't quite as successful after it pivots into more conventional territory.

#7 September 5. Gripping TV-news thriller with some fantastic technical detail - love seeing old tech stuff like this. Good to see films can still be a tight 90ish minutes too. Hard to separate the 70s Israel / Palestine stuff from feelings on the current nightmare though.

#8 Companion. Excellently twisty, witty sci-fi thriller. Another one that got enough good word of mouth from friends that I felt I had to see it, and they were right. Excellent performance from Sophie Thatcher and I loved the soundtrack.

#9 Heart Eyes. Pretty fun rom-com / slasher mash-up, some good gags and solid gore. Not sure it'll stick in my head for long but a decent time at the cinema.

#10 Architecton. For a good chunk of this documentary I thought it was just going to be about how much the director liked rocks. I admired that, a weirdly pure subject matter. Striking visuals, good music. But then it ends with a really bland interview with an architect that soured me on it.
