Demo account. Crime, noir, and anything with rain on a window. The forties were the peak.
Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.
Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.

Dispossessed is the real thing. Every choice feels considered. Plot is beside the point; the inner life is everything. This one is going to stay with me.
Carlo Emilio Gadda at the top of their game with Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana. Every choice feels considered. I will be thinking about it for weeks.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
Everything I hoped Hurry Up Tomorrow would be, and more. It goes to bleak places and does not flinch. It leaves the big questions open, and trusts you with them. I keep telling people about it.
Mostly about the story.
One of the best things I have watched this year. The kind of work that makes the rest of the year look lazy.
One of the best things I have watched this year. Every choice feels considered. It goes to bleak places and does not flinch. One for the shelf of things I press on people.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
Q-Games Ltd. at the top of their game with Dreams of Another. Its calm pace is its secret weapon. Polished and serious, the real thing. Straight onto my favourites.
Mostly about the craft.
One of the best things I have played this year. Open-ended without being vague. It lets moments breathe longer than most would dare. Already want to play it again.
Mostly about the craft.
Perverts is the real thing. Its calm pace is its secret weapon. I will be thinking about it for weeks.
Mostly about the craft.
David Lynch at the top of their game with Eraserhead. The darkness is earned, not worn for effect. Polished and serious, the real thing.
Mostly about the craft.
Anemone is the real thing. Its calm pace is its secret weapon. Believe the hype on this one.
Blonde is the real thing. I was not ready for how much it would move me.
Mostly about how it felt.
Warfare is the real thing. It goes to bleak places and does not flinch. The craft on display is extraordinary.
Mostly about the craft.
Rating key: ★★★★★ loved, ★★½ mixed.
Further out is a stronger lean than other Buds.
Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other Buds. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
One row a medium, half a star a bar; the dashed line is the mean. Kinder to books than films? It shows here.
One bar per star rating, one row per medium. Where the bars pile up is your habit; the dashed line is your average for that medium.
The two directions taste varies most along. Archetypes cluster; Nadia Noir is ringed, and people they follow are outlined.
Every Bud, placed so that people with similar leans sit near each other. The two axes are the directions taste varies most along, found from all profiles. Neighbors are worth a look.
Above the line, kinder than the crowd; below it, harsher.
Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.
Needs ratings across at least two years, with three or more in each.
Year by year, on the four strongest dimensions.
One line per dimension, one point per year: the average character of what you loved that year. A line that climbs means your favorites moved toward that pole.
