Louder Than Bombs

This new film by Joachim Trier, who made the spectacular "Oslo, August 31st", is another masterpiece. The non-linear story weaves through the film like bright threads in a tapestry. The effect of watching the past and present merge is magical, and Trier's direction brought a lush richness to the story that it needed. The acting by Byrne, Eisenberg, Huppert, and Druid is also perfection, and they all played off each other in such beautifully subtle ways. I adored this, it's just so lovely and tragic from beginning to end. One of the best I've seen this year. 5/5

American Ultra

As Jesse Eisenberg is a fantastic actor who makes great movie choices I will literally watch anything that he's in, and rarely be disappointed. This action comedy was no exception. It was witty, quirky, action packed, and had great performances from everyone. And yes, that includes Kristen Stewart, who was surprisingly effective in this. Definitely a good time. 4/5

Why Stop Now

This comedy has a real dark side to it, one if tapped could have left it tragic. I liked the line it walked. And whoever played piano for Eisenberg is simply brilliant. That was amazing piano. 4/5
