Last Night in Soho (2021)
Visually stunning but annoying
Clever idea and visually stunning execution, but it just didn't feel right. Ellie felt over the top hysterical and irrational. The relationships between the characters felt fake and, and the ending felt too simple and malevolent, like Sandie suddenly turned into a one-dimensional villain from a comic book.
Cherry (2021)
Beautiful, dark and engaging
I loved the cinematography. It was a bit much here and there (doctors office, I'm looking at you), but all over it was beautiful and captivating. The story was engaging, and made me feel like an emotional train wreck. I was invested in the characters and really felt their loving relationship, their heartbreaking spiral into misery and their way out again. The way the movie split the story up into different parts worked for me. I think the middle part/war part could have been a bit longer, or at least showed us more of what he went through, as that would have made it easier to picture all the traumatic memories that haunted his mind afterwards. It would have made the movie even darker though, so maybe it was a good decision after all.
