The Royal Tenenbaums

I love how Wes Anderson combines his unique aesthetic and storytelling with his quirky deadpan humor. To me, The Royal Tenenbaums is his masterpiece, where each character seems flawed, interesting and fleshed out and where we can relate to...

Lost in Translation

There is something so magical about watching these two lost souls, who yearn for meaning, purpose and connection, form a bond together. Sophia Coppola has a masterful way of making a film aesthetically pleasing while gaining your sympathy...

Poor Things

I really like how this movie satirizes attraction: Bella's infant brain is a metaphor for how society oversexualizes infantilised women. We get to see the stages of rebirth to adulthood through the eyes of Bella Baxter, a hilariously blunt...

Pan's Labyrinth

This movie hits me right in the gut whenever I watch it. It's not an easy watch, but it is darkly beautiful, like a gothic Alice in Wonderland. The visuals are sublime and the world Guillermo del Toro creates is so solemn and melancholic,...

Boogie Nights

Paul Thomas Anderson is a magnificent filmmaker with impeccable storytelling. Boogie Nights was so fascinating. Watching Dirk Diggler go from a broken home to a makeshift family of adult filmmakers to his spectacularly chaotic downfall....

The Matrix

I mean, it's a groundbreaking film. I think it was ahead of its time but still resonated with the audience. It still feels fresh after all these years and really opens up interesting conversations on reality and what life and society...

Like Water for Chocolate

This was a lovely adaptation of one of my favorite books. It's filled with forbidden love, stifling family traditions, making sacrifices for those you love, food, tragedy and a little bit of unexpected magic. The whole film wraps your...

There Will Be Blood

Daniel day Lewis is so iconic in this film. Never in a million years would I have thought this subject matter would be interesting for me to watch, but Paul Thomas Anderson is such an incredible filmmaker that I couldn't keep my eyes off...

Bad Education

I really see this as a character study of what happens when people don't work through their traumas. Pedro Almodovar is one of my favorite directors and he always delivers. I love the energy and the aesthetic of vibrant colors that Pedro...

Blade Runner

As a fan of scifi, especially of the dystopian variety, I couldn't make a favorites list without this film. I love its moody atmosphere, the action, the visuals, the costumes and story. The pacing is perfect, the acting is perfect.

Bonnie and Clyde

I'm sure there were some glaring historical inaccuracies in this film, but It doesn't bother me. This film was an absolute ride. Whether for notoriety or to make a statement against the establishment, people can do such morally...
