Wrath of Man (2021) - 10/10.
Statham is back! Guy Ritchie is back! Massive firefights and high body counts: back and back! And it's all in glorious IMAX (which is also back). Great plot, with due consideration for a variety of characters and their backstories. Yeah, baby!
Somehow, I find this rating as hard to buy as that tired "Guy Ritchie is back" claim that we hear every time he shows up with yet another mediocre and visibly exhausted film. But hey I haven't even seen the trailer so I may be wrong.
Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno 8.5/10
Second watch, I was really into it this time. My money is on Kechiche ending up in history books as one i=of the most important filmmakers of the 2010's. I don't put a lot of money on his 2020's career as Me Too is after him and he definitely isn't well equiped to fight back (his name became synonymous with "male gaze" when the sequel of that movie was showed in Cannes back in 2019... and the film was never released). Here is how Abdellatif Kechiche films a classic shot/reverse shot:
