The way the POV camera mimics how eyes focus and linger on certain details (a mother's watch, what shoes people wear, a college pamphlet slipping away) is devastating. Fragmented memories, averted glances as a means of survival, and hypnotic interludes. MAJOR art.

A lovely magical realism tale about our relationship to the past through memories and ancient treasures. I love how Josh O’Connor's eyes convey weariness in seeking closure for a lost love. Carol Duarte is so charming. Tender & heartbreaking

I've never seen a film restart 50 minutes into the runtime. Shots of soju lead to moments of brutal honesty. It starts amusing and laidback but becomes increasingly melancholic, especially in the back half. Incredible drunk acting.

“This IS Christmas music!”

The setup & introduction are a bit clunky but once Taron Egerton starts running around LAX, it kicks into a higher gear. Jason Bateman's calm and collected manner makes him a great villain. I like a solid Christmas thriller and this is one of those.
