Movie reviews of William Eguizabal

The kind of comedy you’ve come to expect from Netflix—fast-paced action, with narrative structure and humor thrown right out the window. Review

Mediocrity at its finest. Everything about this feels cheaper than the budget. Review

This film is hilarious. I was completely on board with whatever it was trying to sell me. Review

Sure, it’s silly—and sometimes, you can have fun with silly—but Christian Gudegast just isn’t a particularly skilled director. This film suffers from the same issues as the first, except now it’s a French-soaked retread of the original. Review

This is a film that suffers from a lot of inconsistencies and sadly there was a lot of potential for this to be great. Lila Gueneau actually does really work here and she’s really the heart of the film in the way Night is the engine. Review

It’s as uneven as it gets. The performances are masterful, and the script is strong. Corbet clearly has a bright future behind the camera, and with this, he’s guaranteed that his next project will be whatever he wants it to be. That might not be a good thing. Someone should have reined in this damn runtime. Review

Immense. The emotion—immense. The consequences of a single action—immense. The storytelling—immense. There’s a profound weight to this story, and the young actors at its core do an incredible job of guiding us through it. Review

A tension-fueled step into real history. One of the things that truly sets this apart is the timer—everything seems to be happening in real time, and there’s nothing we, as the audience, can do. Review

Robert Eggers continues his streak of absolute cinematic mastery. Review

This is a phenomenal thriller from start to finish. Nicholas Hoult is absolutely excellent here, and this is a low-key surprise as one of 2024’s best. Review

It’s a compelling character study of someone not so different from you or me. Review

The goal of this film is simple: it wants you to laugh. It wants you to turn off your brain and just enjoy. And there’s plenty here to love. Review

Visually this is one of the most interesting films I’ve seen in 2024. This won’t be for everyone but this was certainly something I enjoyed. An... Review

Denzel is devilishly slick, delivering a performance with multiple layers. He keeps us guessing, making us flip-flop on our opinion of him throughout the film. Meanwhile, Paul Mescal is simply too talented to be in a film like this—one that lacks any real structural strength. Review

There are some great performances here. Jonathan Bailey is a scene-stealer. Ariana Grande, though not traditionally considered an excellent actress, delivers a phenomenal performance. Review

It’s pretentious, ill-informed nonsense coming from an arrogant director with an apathetic attitude toward the very culture he finds fascinating enough to make a film about. Review

Such a phenomenal picture—a film that truly feels like reality. In a story like this, the relationship between two people can make or break everything. Thankfully, Eisenberg and Culkin have amazing chemistry that grips us from start to finish. Review

What a motion picture this is! Every second of screen time that Edward Berger is given, he rewards us with juicy scandal. Review

Period pieces are challenging and can often feel messy, but she absolutely nails the 1970s aesthetic, fully placing us in Sheryl’s shoes. Review

I love feeling emotions; they’re usually what pull me through a film like this. But I wasn’t completely there with this one. I enjoyed it—it’s wonderfully acted and truly showcases the talent of its two leads. Review

Aside from a glaring overstay of its welcome, this is a really solid piece of horror filmmaking. Not only is it dangerously well-acted, but it’s also a fun time at the movies. Review

This might be Baker’s single best film. Mikey Madison is electrifying—a lightning rod of naivety, grace, and beauty. Review

A heck of a thrill ride here. There’s a real pulse to this film, with every moment escalating into something more and more urgent. Review

It’s easily in the running for my personal favorite film of 2024. It’s fun, funny, and an absolute blast at the movies. Review
