Tar was very very very very good, I don't understand how it went over the radar.
The best way I would describe it is Taxi Drive but it is about a genius lady fictionalised conductor, that runs into a bit of agro.
What I really liked about it is that it makes you ask questions and be inquisitive to what really happened and what you actually are reacting to and at the same time criticizes the oversensitivity of Western Culture, but not by a morally superior protagonist.

On the same topic, with a different twist, Maestro is an absolute masterpiece.
While Tar tries to be as tamed as possible and serve the story with tack-sharp cinematography Maestro, goes all the way and takes full advantage of all cinematic forms.
This is a biographical about the real-life conductor Leonard Bernstein.

Then, what becomes one of my favorite movies of all time, Asteroid City.
I mean the movie initially seems to be an allegory about art and what it means to be an artist, which really means to be yourself in the world and tell the world how you feel about it, which brings light to the fact that all art is social commentary.
So all these 3 dynamics are happening at the same time in a very Wes Anderson world.
Also a similar topic, but through a different lens I have to mention The French Dispatch(2021) also by Wes.

The Fabelmans, heavily inspired by Steven's Spielberg life follows the story of a kid who loves movies and his struggles with being a kid in a family with some odd circumstances.
And yes, it is made by Steven Spielberg.
The ending scene is one of my favorite cinema movies of all time.

Kinds of Kindness is very fucking weird and makes you go like, what in the fuck did I just watch, but then as soon as the shock wheres off it makes you question so very basic way in which you interact with people and who others interact with you.
It's very loud and your face(stylistically) but at the same time so subtle in its observations.
And ofc cinematography is out of this world.

Licorice Pizza was a very Paul Thomas Anderson Movie(as all his movies are), and it's a story of a kid falling in love with this older girl that takes place in the 70s.
Sounds basic, but it's so masterfully done and such a beautiful way to show the thrilling aspects of the banal.

I really liked that new Cruela movie, I mean very Joker-type of movie with a lighter tone.
Brings the back story of Cruela from 101. A rollercoaster of a movie.

In the last 5 years we have 2 Scorsese movies: Killer of the Flower Moon and The Irish man, I mean they are both perfect movies. Absolute 10/10 movies. MUST WATCH!
Watching Killer of the Flower Moon in the cinema was one of the most intense movies viewing I ever experienced in my life.

Uncut Gems it's just one of those movies that kick you in the teeth and somehow you can't look away and it feels like the whole movie took 5 minutes.
Marvelous storytelling and such a cleaver story.

Godland is the most Tarkovsky movie I say that was node made by Tarkovsky. Also the only one on the list that's not an English language movie.


The Killer. David Fincher doing Le Samouraï(1967) in his own way and with all the freedoms allowed by Netflix.
Besides the exceptional word-class storytelling, I really love how Fincher portrays every small thing in such a realistic way.

I'm gonna stop here, as the tweet is way too big.
