1. Charming Buster Keaton feature that doesn't quite reach the highs of his greatest films
2. Smart and sexy 90s neo-noir from the Wachowskis
3. An aural and visual feast but the story feels a little undercooked
4. Bong Joon-ho's devastating murder mystery

The Navigator (1924) ★★★1/2
Bound (1996) ★★★★
Berberian Sound Studio (2012) ★★★
Mother (2009) ★★★★
