Inside Out 2, 2024 - ★★★★

Inside Out 2 should have been a two-hour movie to allow more time for expanding the concept, especially in the first act. I would love to see more of the other emotions and how they interact in a healthy way. Everything felt so rushed, without enough time to emotionally invest in any scenes. …

Hit Man, 2023 - ★★★½

The whole romcom vibe just didn't mesh well with the storyline for me. I think they really missed an opportunity to delve into the psychological aspects of the characters instead. It had the potential to be something like You, but instead we got a too-slow-paced romantic comedy with a bizarre …
