Ferrari was really good.

Beautifully shot, with some lovely use of color.

The Italian countryside is unbelievably stunning, and the perfect backdrop to what are probably my favorite "race" scenes ever put to film.

A lot of screen time was dedicated to Enzo's double life, which was far less interesting to me than the origins of the car manufacturer and race team, but I understand why it needed to be there.

Cruz puts in a brilliant performance. A truly devastating portrayal of grief.

Driver is basically untouchable. Haters be damned.

Considering its IMDb rating of 6.7 (16k reviews), I can safely say this one is underrated.

Really well done.
I rented that last night but didn't know it was French and couldn't concentrate on it, I'm gonna try again today because I was impressed
Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

I thought the use and variety of tension was masterful. The whole thing really vibrates quietly.
I can't elaborate right now, I'm about to watch my partner in their theatre acting debut, but I absolutely loved Anatomy of a Fall, even though I typically dislike courtroom dramas; this was special

Nice to hear. Seems Cruz is really good on this one.

Took me 5 tries to get through this and I wish I would have done something else. Get an editor!

Poor Things. Made it about halfway. It just doesn't work.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Great movie if you can get past Affleck’s hair and goatee.

Oddly enough, it was Matt Damon's goatee that bothered me more.
