Traffic. For the first time in over a decade.
Perfect movie. Soderbergh's magnum opus.

I Remember You I think that ghost stories have a lot of untapped potential for brilliant storytelling and this film tells me that I'm right about that. This Icelandic film is a really interesting blend of horror, mystery, noir, romance, and supernatural thriller that focuses on loss, grief, betrayal, and obsession. Excellent cinematography, symbolic sets, great pacing, sparing but gripping use of suspense, and extremely ****ing creepy atmosphere. This is sort of similar to The Wailing but not as a convoluted. Some of the dialogue is a bit expository but I guess that beats a flashback scene. I really enjoyed this. 4.5/5

The Iceman This didn't connect with me at all when I first tried it, but I gave it a more serious watch and loved it. The ending was absolutely crushing, it's incredible how they can make such a cold and horrific person such a sympathetic character. 4/5

God damn man. Soderbergh. What a Lej. I re-watched Logan Lucky two nights ago and he's in peak form right now.
