Listicle (1/2): best movies I've seen this year (2025), ranked (contains a few spoilers)
This year has been a lot (and so was every single year since 2020). I was raised atheist, but man, something must be up with the stars! It hasn't been all bad though. One of my highlights is having enough time to watch and enjoy plenty of #movies.
1. #Sinners (2025) - needs no introduction - epic storytelling and music! I don't usually rewatch movies, but I have watched Sinners 5 times already, and I am keen to keep rewatching!
2. #WildRobot (2024) - I concede, it's not the most logically consistent movies, but it succeeded Wall-E (don't come at me please!)
3. Celia (1989) - set in Australia, exploring how the country handled the Red Scare. I am recent migrant to Aus; while Aus is still part of the Western hegemony, media from the continent gets overlooked. The only movie I can recall (I've seen) as Australin is Crocodie Dundee lol. I did not anticipate the plot twist in this movie, and I doubt you will either.
4. The Little Sister (2025) - was screened during #FringeFestival (a #queer event in South Aus). The film is a #lesbian #coming-of-age story set in Paris following Fatima, a 17-year-old French-Algerian girl. Really handled the themes well, without resorting to inescapable tragedy.
