The 10 Best Movie Performances of 2024
From Daniel Craig in 'Queer' to Mikey Madison in 'Anora'
Babygirl
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, because the suspense wasn't that suspenseful. I'm shocked that the critic rating is a lot better than the audience. I think it's because this movie will make you uncomfortable at times, because it revolves around sex and fulfillment. I'm sure it deterred and turned off the uptight people.
The ending still ended pretty enjoyable and not forced, because it fit the tone of the movie.
Nicole does a great job in this. She carries it so I never lost interest. Not shocked she got nominated for a golden globe.
Nosferatu
First, this looks great. The cinematography and slight flips from color to black and white. The way they filmed it with the shadows and hiding Nosferatu.
Nicolaus Holt and Lily Rose Depp did great.
I enjoyed it, but it got predictable for me. Well besides one instance, because that's not typical. The second act pretty much tells you how things will finish in the third, because it leaves no shock, at least for me. It was actually sort of anticlimactic for me.

It's good to see him getting his name back out there with higher profile projects in recent years.

The Order
PRAISE: Based on the 1989 non-fiction book The Silent Brotherhood by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt this story of white supremacists who rob banks and also use other means to fun their cause are pursued intensely by the FBI.
The movie is riveting and then some and propelled by the intense and fully immersive performances from Jude Law as FBI Agent Terry Husk, and Nicholas Hoult as Bob Matthews leader of a branch of whites supremacists. Husk has his own set of personal problems but never loses his focus. Matthews is a my way or the highway type when it comes to his cause,women or butting heads with other white supremacist leaders. As officer Jamie Bowen Tye Sheridan, is equally excellent as he teams up with Husk to take down the supremacists. Also Jurnee Smollett as fellow FBI agent Joanne Carney does quite well with moments of edgy disgust and intensity. The film is intense and then some with all the right amounts of grit. So many scenes are wonderfully filmed and put together by Director Justin Kurzel. Some are quiet and some are full of gunfire filled with so much tension and suspense. Some moments are so shocking i had to ask myself did i just see that? The movie stirred my soul for so many different reasons and it manages to do so right to the closing captions played on screen at the end.
PROBLEMS: I couldn't get on board with a couple of things that happen during the films climax. There are a couple of predictable paths the screenplay goes down.
Scale of 1 to 10 an 8½
