(10) Arrival
Time is not linear,
how we speak is how we think,
says hard sci-fi.
(9) Maggie’s Plan
A Miller screwball comedy,
Gerwig plays all,
save Slavoj Zizek.
(8) The Daughter
Ibsen but not Ibsen,
secrets and lies in Oz,
sins of the past bite.
(7) Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Majestical Taika Waititi,
makes smart sight gags,
and smarter lines.
(6) Look Who’s Back
Borat with Hitler,
painting in Bayreuth,
and a bit with a dog too.
(5) The Neon Demon
Refn the garish provocateur,
subverts Keanu,
bloodies glitter.
(4) Queen of Earth
Two women by the lake,
one loses her mind,
the other doesn’t mind.
(3) Deadpool
Take usual plot,
discuss usual plot in the plot,
a dead shot.
(2) The Nice Guys
Laurel and Hardy fight crime,
Laurel’s daughter the brains,
but not Waltons.
(1) High-Rise
Tower block descends into anarchy,
the residents…
kind of like it.
