'I Love You Anne' is almost one I found to be satisfactory, but not quite. If I'm honest, there is only one part of it that I fully disliked: the dad. Daniel Fils Aimé overacts (his real life shtick, tbf) and the character is super irritating, the filmmakers don't even redeem Bicha's antics either.
The love story (if not fleshed out enough) infused with the criminality is actually fairly decent viewing. For my money, the film should've been directly about Anne, Don Kato and the two criminals. Alongside a smaller role for the dad, who actually should've been played by Fresnel Larosilière; a much more fitting father figure.
Speaking of the bad guys, they did do a good job at making them extremely sleazy - I genuinely did dislike them. The movie probably doesn't need to be as long as it is, mind you. All in all, not a bad flick but one that didn't quite do enough for me.

'Black Bag' is a very good spy thriller! It is a slowburn sorta film and is dialogue heavy, but neither of those things are negatives as long as it delivers - which this 2025 release certainly does. The cast are terrific, most notably Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett.
Marisa Abela, Regé-Jean Page, Tom Burke and Naomie Harris are great in their respective parts too. The story kept me interested all the way through, I wouldn't say it's paced to perfection as it felt a little longer than ~1hr 30mins but that's a minor complaint because it's all watchable stuff.
Directed by Steven Soderbergh.

'In the Lost Lands' is oddly one that didn't do it for me. I say oddly because I really enjoyed all of the cast here, it's just the story that totally failed to claw me in; I honestly would struggle to give you a suitable recap of the plot even so soon after watching it.
Those onscreen, however, are all pluses. Dave Bautista is good, so is Milla Jovovich. Arly Jover works, as do Amara Okereke and Fraser James. Simon Lööf is the weakest main cast member and even he is fine. It is rare for me to not like a film where the cast bring positive displays.
The world built and the effects used looked pleasing enough to me too, it really is just the plot that hampers this one for me personally. That's a shame, really. It feels like a missed opportunity.
