Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks do it again, this time in the shape of a brilliant spy tale and period piece. The commie who plays Abel I must admit deserves an Oscar for supporting actor, not sure if he's nominated and I'm too lazy to look. Tom Hanks does a serviceable job, naturally. Spielberg hasn't felt so Spielberg-ian in a long time, it's wonderful. 3.5/5
Anomalisa kinda floored me. At first I thought that the world this man lives in is full of only men and trans-women, but it gets much more absurd than that. Very lovely, this film. Don't mistake this as typical animated PG fodder, cause mature it very much is. 4.5/5
I always appreciate a film where investigative journalists go through the arduous process of coming to a conclusion. Unfolding such systemic corruption at a pace that isn't too far off from actual journalists. Sounds boring but I was sucked in the entire time. And the ending, holy cow I held back tears. 4/5
No matter what you know about the credit default swap market, or subprime loans that are impossible to pay, or whether hedge-fund managers gobbledyg

ucking entertaining. 4/5
