Pig is a really unique and fun movie. John Wick meets Top Chef, or something like that…

Was it? It was fine – that thing you throw on because you’ve watched most of everything else that fills that kind of derivative political action conspiracy thriller. Not particularly intelligent, not particularly funny, a loose enough plot that you can be paying attention once every 5 minutes and get by. Some folks get shot. There’s a conspiracy ooooOOOOoooh.

Maybe that’s what defines good these days, when content is just a glut of mediocrity.

I was shocked it was up top the list in terms of ‘quality,’ but I watched it because, it was there… So, I guess that explains it?

The Recruit (similar vein) was a superior show in terms of quality. Recommend that if you need a quick fix.

Papers, please. This was dystopian but it still felt like it captured the banality of some of communism’s negative side rather than just creating moustache twirling villains.

For sure… Sable and A Short Hike are great mentions and both have really distinct and beautiful styles. Haven’t tried Proteus so thanks for the recommendation there.

Limbo/Inside, but especially Limbo

Flower and Journey, kinda both equally

Most modern AAAs (thinking TLOU/2, Horizon etc.) will tend to have very well done ‘world’ lighting – usually veering towards realism, but when it comes to expression of a unique cinematic look they tend to be samey in my mind. Great, but samey.
