Swiss Army Man

I wasn’t sure what to make of this movie. It’s a weird fantasy-type movie where a man encounters a dead body, which turns out to be more than a dead body. This body can produce drinking water, and limbs that can be used as cutting tools. But more than the surrealism of the whole thing, the movie’s events speak a lot about the character’s self-actualization.

Smashed

Alcoholism is a vice brought by many factors. It can be due to a person's environment, or a hereditary habit, to name a few. But what happens when a person tries to surpass it, to say that one had enough of the lifestyle, that a person's vice has brought nothing but trouble to daily life? That is what James Ponsoldt's Smashed portray, as we watch the life of Kate Hannah, an alcoholic whose habit has brought destruction to her life.
