After Yang (2022)
After Yang is admittedly a cerebral slow-burn. Still, it is a beautifully shot movie, with themes that stick with you, especially being present and what it is to be human.

When You Finish Saving The World is not bad, it's just not terribly memorable, despite strong performances from Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard.

The Power of the Dog (2021)
Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog zigs when you think it is going to zag, which truly is refreshing. Cumberbatch and Dunst give the best performances of their careers.

Wilson (2017)
Harrelson and Dern's performances inevitably outshine their source material, as the film's sloppy third act will leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.

Band Aid (2017)
Zoe Lister-Jones successfully navigates a difficult tone, making a heartfelt, musically-driven romantic dramedy, that doesn't exist in either drama or comedy for too long.
