Hot take but this is arguably true of the "good" films she was doing 10-15 years ago (The Master innocent)
Would be a good bit to watch Klara and the Sun and start calling it Taika's best in at least 10 years (if not ever), but there's no way I trust him to handle a movie about AI
The full review if you're interested

Rewatched Saw II. Not surprised to learn this started off as an original script since it already feels so far from what the original was going for, but I guess they were able to build off it in later entries?
We Bury the Dead begins as a seemingly novel take on the zombie genre with its tale of post-outbreak clean-up, but it loses sight of that amidst an increasingly anticlimactic journey through all-too-familiar tropes.
Rewatched Thief. Catching it in a theatre helps to really notice all sorts of granular details I'd never caught before, which is ideal when it comes to appreciating a story of painfully precise professionalism.
Rewatched F13 Part 3. I do prefer the sequels when they actually have something resembling a wacky hook than these straightforward early exercises in slasher mayhem. I've seen this at least 3 or 4 times and barely remember anything about it.
Scream, Queen! is a decent enough documentary tracing the legacy of ANOES 2 and how it ties into the bigger pictures of both the horror genre and queer history and how they intersect. Slight, but interesting enough.
Watched Hobgoblins. I've seen quite a few movies from MST3K without their riffing and this one might just be the worst I've seen yet.
Rewatched Blow Out. Not quite my favourite De Palma but in many ways his quintessential masterpiece, finding the perfect narrative to match his established technical and thematic preoccupations.
Just going to put this out there - if you're going to reply with what you think should've won instead, at least pick from the other nominees. Otherwise, it's just too easy to pick your favourite film that came out that year.
