Mickey 17
Going into this I tried my best to not have any expectations, especially with Parasite preceding this film. But I can honestly say that Bong Joon Ho did not disappoint. This film is coming out at a time where there's a lot of uncertainty due to the choices that have been made by people in power. Which leads to the themes of this film to feel incredibly relevant. It doesn't take itself too seriously but it's hard to deny the reflection of our reality upon Mickey 17. I really enjoyed the ethical/philosophical side of Mickey regarding expendables as well. It's just surprising to see how well done the exploration of what feels like a lot of ideas is within the film. And Robert Pattinson is just incredible in this, his performance is up there with other actors who've played different people in the same film. His performance even comes close to Kyle MacLachlan in Twin Peaks: The Return regarding the ability to distinctly play different characters. But yea, really enjoyed this and surprised to see the criticism it's facing.
