    An Cailín Ciúin aka The Quiet Girl (2022)

    A brave movie with excellent actors that can reach the viewer with or without dialog. It also introduces a talented young actor in a story about old Ireland, family and fostering.

    But it’s not about the description. There’s-so much pathos in this movie, I was riveted and it stands out on its own.

    Lift (2023)

    Documentary about a ballet instructor/choreographer who went back to his childhood shelter to try to bring other children through home insecurities to a better place. It was incredibly moving and heartfelt, and the ending was absolutely beautiful.

    The Net

    Director: Irwin Winkler | Year: 1995
    Actors: Sandra Bullock, Jeremy Northam, Dennis Miller

    Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

    Teenage me used to love this movie. As an old man I found myself scrolling through the thriller aspects of the plot. The re-watch was due in part to its disapperance from Netflix, but because the tech nostalgia, much like with Hackers from the same year, was the big draw.

    No One Will Save You (2023)

    A home invasion movie that subverted my expectations a few times, even with a trailer that seemed to give a lot away. Turns out it didn't. The lack of dialogue amped up the tension in a very cool way. I'm surprised this went straight to Netflix. It felt worthy of a proper theatrical release. The final act really solidified it as worthwhile.
