I have anxiety in general, but this film gave me the most anxiety I’ve had in a theater all year, in a good way. The gunfight scenes were viscerally imagined. Everything about the film felt utterly realistic. One scene in particular had me on the verge of a full-blown panic attack. You know the one; “What kind of American are you?”
5) Dune Part 2 (dir. Denis Villeneuve)
“Lisan al Gaib!” The most visually stunning film of the year. The scene where the Harkonnens float up the ridge had me levitating. Pure cinema.
4) The Substance (dir. Coralie Fargeat)
This is a fun and bonkers film with disgusting (in a good way) make-up effects. It’s so wild to me that this film is nominated for multiple Oscars. A body horror film with wild gore that tears down the beauty standards put upon women. Can you imagine Stuart Gordon, Frank Henenlotter, or Brain Yuzna film being nominated for Best Picture and Best Director in the 1980s? Add in Demi Moore whose basically leading the Best Actress race. What a time to be alive.
