Tony Scott’s The Hunger is a rip-off of Daughters of Darkness but where the earlier movie is camp and tongue in cheek, The Hunger takes itself very serious and ends up inadvertently funny.

I don’t remember enjoying that compared to Scott’s other efforts - just remember a lot of net curtains blowing about

…and doves, Scott shot the whole thing like a perfume commercial.

Armageddon Time, an autobiographical look at the director's time growing up in 80s New York.

Unlike most such efforts, this one doesn't feature any nostalgia or rose-tinted spectacles.

Aftersun - a nostalgia-soaked father-daughter holiday tale. The film modulates between social realism and something more dream-like, and between feelings of joy and melancholy. Two incredible central performances from Paul Mescal and a very young Frankie Corio - I think we can expect great things from her in the future. Beautiful film, I'm sure it will scoop up at the awards season.

Glass Onion - Knives Out sequel. Good, but, for me, lacked the simple charm of the first one. The whodunnit genre, in my opinion, benefits from relatively low movie budgets.

Bones and All - All style and little substance goth-horror coming-of-age cannibal romance. Usual mediocre performance from Timotheeeeee Chalamet, but I guess he's just really cast as eye candy anyway? Enjoyable, if forgettable.
