This wasn’t my claim.
What film or type of film you like is all a personal preference anyway. I really just disagree with the quirky for quirky sake bit.
He’s an artist, these films are his vision and he gets the clout to keep making them. Some are really good in my opinion, some not so much.
You could accuse Tom Waits of being quirky for quirky sake and I’d disagree with that too and hes made some great and some not so great music.
Old Boy
Hope you don’t mean the remake
Seen the original - dope film then watched the shite remake fckn atrocious
Napoleon (2023)
I was so very much looking forward to watching this as it promised a lot - a great historic epic on one of the most interesting Europeans to have ever lived, directed by a sometimes brilliant filmmaker and starring one of the best actors of our age. But it was so bad, the story was badly written and Joaquin Phoenix was not good in this role, he played this role like an 19th century version of his Joker. A pitiful, disgusting character and a total simpcuck to his wife. And what the fuck was the mah-mah-mah sound to get sex?
Awful film, made by someone who clearly doesn’t care for the man he’s made the subject of his film about.
Wes Anderson started flanderising himself after Grand Hotel Budapest.
Saltburn - 8/10.
Thought it was fantastic: basically The Talented Mr. Ripley had a love child with Call Me By Your Name. Excellently shot, fantastic acting all around especially by Grant and Pike, great location scouting and cinematography. The ending was pretty obvious, but I thought the film itself was a great all rounder. People getting too caught up in some of the more provocative scenes.
Just seen Napoleon. Ay caramba 
This movie is so historically flawed it’s painful. The acting is also very weak. Phoenix is all over the place in the role! This short review I found on YT sum my thoughts up.
Have you seen the early 70s napoleon film? It’s meant to be good. Might give that a watch instead.
Yes I have 
I can highly recommend it.
That one they did about him in high school was decent.
Was looking forward to this film for such a long time. Such a disappointment.
Scotley Ridd has lost it.
@Persona you seen a 60s French film called The Samurai?
Nigh on 4 years ago, dude. Yeah.
Obscure old foreign film. Of course he bloody has.
Ferrari (2023)
A snapshot in the life of the legendary Italian automaker Enzo Ferrari, 1957 the year after his son dies of Muscular Dystrophy and his Supercar and racing empire is threatened with bankruptcy. Also some shit about his private life.
Boring, unoriginal, crappy CGI. The film is sold to the audience as being about his empire and the perilous financial position he’s allowed it to get in but most of the film is actually spent on the drama of his personal life where he’s cheating on his middle-aged grieving & mentally fragile wife - Penelope Cruz, with a woman he fell in love with - Shailene Woodley - during the war and with whom he has a young son. If people think this is a car/racing movie - it isn’t. It pays some lip service to it with a couple scenes and the last part of the movie is about that but it’s not interesting.
Even the big crash and the fallout at the end I didn’t care about because it was so rushed and never felt consequential.
Just all round poor, can’t even say I was impressed with any of the acting performances or the cinematography. Meh.
There’s a follow up prequel series to Sexy Beast that’s been released on Paramount today! Amaaaaazing
I recently saw an Italian guy I know comment on this and call it offensive 
Judgement at Nuremberg (1961)
Exceptional and essential viewing. Very well acted.
8/10
(@Persona strongly recommended)
The Devil All The Time.
Strange seeing English actors put on a thick mid-western/southern accent and seem relatively good at it. I liked it.
Not a film person and never actually seen a Batman film but watched The Batman today and thought it was great. Liked how it wasn’t all explosions and fight scenes.
