The Sisters Brothers (2018)

I'm not a big fan of westerns. Correspondingly, I sort of fell asleep a little bit in the middle. But it's not just a western, it's a dark comedy that's actually quite funny. It's so absurd that it's kind of funny. The cinematography is beautiful. The acting, from John C. Reilly especially (and I like Riz Ahmed), is a delightful surprise. But the best part about this movie is Alexandre Desplat's soundtrack. It's exciting and western and rhythmic and intoxicating.

You Were Never Really Here (2017)

It is undeniably tense and thrilling, but the plot is mindboggling. And the audio is awful. The soundtrack is really loud and the dialogue is really quiet. I actually quite liked the soundtrack, but some subtitles would have been helpful. It was a little too artsy for me. The description of the movie is actually really spot on, it's just unclear what it means until you've seen it: "Joe’s nightmares overtake him as a conspiracy is uncovered leading to what may be his death trip or his awakening." Yeah, that about sums it up.
