Nosferatu: Always in the bag for Eggers, but this is the first time I felt his slavish devotion to detail obstruct imagination, and ironically, blood in the veins. My wife literally turned to me afterwards and said: “We should’ve just watched Coppola’s Dracula instead.” I agree.

Wicked: Quite infectious and I liked this much more than I thought I would, mostly because Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo break their backs carrying it, but if you watched this back-to-back with Spielberg’s WSS you would go catatonic. John M. Chu just doesn’t have it.

A Different Man: I loved The Substance, but this is the essential self-hatred text of 2024. Effortlessly smart, a movie with a million layers underneath a cruel, nasty joke of getting exactly what you want. Sebastian Stan and Adam Pearson are unbelievable.
