Sing Street (2016)
A beautiful coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of 1980s Ireland and the eclectic soundtrack of the generation while paying homage to it with fun original tracks plus wardrobe to match. I wholeheartedly recommend this film to anyone especially those a fan of music and I might even prefer it over Once.Magnolia (1999)
Separate seemingly unrelated stories runs parallel and lightly weaves together into this tapestry where the weather matches the pace. Everybody was wrenching in this drama-filled ensemble but Tom Cruise may have stolen the limelight with his portrayal of the chauvinistic grifter T. J. Mackey.The Lodge (2019)
There are certain ubiquitous elements to horror that are missing - or misses the mark - so it did not properly resonate with me. However, I can envision why some may recommend the film and a cursory search seems to show such a divide.Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)
"What a movie" is the best remark I could give to this film that would have worked better without its popular titular character. It manages to alienate fans from all camps with an ending that nullifies and it being a jukebox musical does not do it any favours. It is a sequel that did not need to be made and now sours the memory of Joker.
