"Anya Taylor-Joy"

2020 · 1 Season · Netflix · Drama

The Queen's Gambit is a rare limited series that earns every bit of its cultural impact. Anya Taylor-Joy's performance anchors a beautifully crafted period piece that works both as a chess drama and as a portrait of addiction, loneliness, and self-destruction. The criticism that Beth's path feels too frictionless is fair, but it rarely diminishes the experience of watching. If you haven't seen it yet, clear your schedule.

2015 · Robert Eggers · 92 min · Horror, Drama

The Witch is the kind of horror film that gets under your skin without ever rushing. Robert Eggers built something genuinely rare here: a debut feature with a fully realized world, a committed cast, and a willingness to let dread accumulate slowly rather than reach for cheap thrills. It won't satisfy viewers looking for scares on a schedule, but for those who let it work on them, it's haunting in ways that linger for days.
