Movies I Watched In 2022

Otherwise known as the year I developed an unhealthy attachment to Lydia Tár and Benoit Blanc.

Tár

Tár' Is the Movie of 2022. Here's Why. - The Ringer

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Tár? Are you talking about the film that made me fall head over heels in love with cinema? My God, this was PERFECT. It’s everything I have ever wanted in a film. The only thing I don’t like about this movie is that I can never see it for the first time again.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Knives Out 2 Review: 'A Glass Onion' Is Bigger and Better

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Glass Onion? Do you mean the film that is my entire personality at the moment? This film tricked the hell out of me and I LOVED every second of it. Everything about it screams masterpiece, and when I watched it again I assumed I was going to figure out Rian Johnson’s editing techniques that caused me to not see the obvious, and oh boy was I wrong. Also, Benoit Blanc is a legend, and I want to be him when I grow up

White Noise

White Noise (2022) - IMDb

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Gave me Don’t Look Up vibes.

Notes On A Scandal

Movie of the Week: 'Notes on a Scandal' | Art House Film Wire

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Went into this expecting the taboo trope but walked away very disturbed (in a good way, I really enjoyed this film) and in awe of Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett’s performances.

The Inspection

The Inspection' Star Jeremy Pope: The Film Was Most Difficult Role –  Deadline

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

The way this film deals with homophobia and masculinity resonated with me.

The Wonder

The Wonder' review: Florence Pugh pursues an enigma - Los Angeles Times

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Overall I enjoyed this movie, but I wasn’t expecting it to be creepy. It was hard to follow at times, but the last 30 minutes really made up for that. Florence Pugh was amazing, as per usual. Still not sure about my thoughts on the way the movie began and ended. Also, that fourth wall break scared me.

Marriage Story

Marriage Story (2019) - IMDb

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Noah Baumbach yelled cut, but Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver heard act like rent is due.

Black Panther Wakanda Forever

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' reviews are coming in: Here's what critics  are saying so far - pennlive.com

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I have never felt this level of emotion while watching MCU content since Wandavision. Words cannot describe how much I adore this film

Don’t Worry Darling

Don't Worry Darling (2022) - IMDb

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Hot take: I think this was one of the best films of the year. I am a sucker for dark twists, and I particularly loved this one because it was very distressing. I kind of went into this with no prior knowledge (minus the press tour drama), but I like it. Is it perfect? no, but I don’t find it to be unwatchable.

House Of Gucci

Gucci Family Issues Scathing Statement Over 'House of Gucci' - Variety

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

I will never understand why Lady Gaga did not receive an Academy Award nomination for this role.

My Policeman

My Policeman - Plugged In

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Was it perfect? No. Did it make me cry? Yes.

Sabotage

Sabotage 1936, directed by Alfred Hitchcock | Film review

Rating: 4 out of 5.

There was a lot of sabotaging going on.

Enola Holmes

Enola Holmes' Review – The Hollywood Reporter

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Watched this for Henry Cavill but became a Millie Bobby Brown fan.

Knives Out

When Daniel Craig started speaking in that southern accent, I knew I was going to love this film.

Thor Love and Thunder

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Chaotic and fun.

Rating: 5 out of 5.

It’s madding how I fell even more in love with Wanda when she viciously tore people apart. I probably should be concerned about that…..

The Batman

The Batman (2022) — Kicking the Seat

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. It was fantastic.

Loved this so much that I bought the Criterion Collection edition of the original.

As a Frozen stan, I can admit they went hard with We Don’t Talk About Bruno, and I like it more than Let It Go.
