Plan 75 (2022)

I like it. Take away the background of the euthanasia program in the story world, this is a sad story about growing old and lonely. It contains several scenes which I felt were poignant. Chieko Baisho gives a sensitive and commanding performance, IMHO.

Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)

This one didn't really engage me. Maybe different expectations were set by the trailer. But it did deliver a nifty idea that wishes can be traps.

Nope (2022)

One of my favs of the year. I think I would have loved to see this in IMAX. Sunglasses at Night by Corey Hart. The Purple People Eater. Michael Wincott. Daniel Kaluuya. Keke Palmer. Brandon Perea. The fantastic cast. The smart storytelling. The sound design and mix!
