Weird Guy, Real Hurt
My David Dastmalchian ranking from watched films: weird-guy vulnerability, nervous intensity, genre corners, and faces that make side characters feel haunted for free. Ranked by stars first, then by rewatch pull, emotional clarity, performa




Denis Villeneuve did not waste time world building on the first few frames.


From the first frame, you can already feel Denis Villeneuve’s fingerprints: the cold blue palette and the lonely silhouettes.





Good yung prologue. It clearly sets the backstory and prepares you for what kind of world and tone the film is going for.
