Kinoki: Film Recommendations

Kinoki is a group with highly refined cinematic tastes, so we asked some of their members for movie recommendations. We promise you don't have to know anything about diegesis, mise–en–scene or other fancy shit to enjoy these picks.

WHIPLASH:

The Oscar–nominated phenomenon follows a young musician and his impassioned teacher.

SUGGESTED BY: MAX KURTZMAN

A TIME TO KILL:

Sandra Bullock. Matthew McConaughey. Samuel L. Jackson. Need we say more?

SUGGESTED BY: MAX KURTZMAN

MEMENTO:

This wild Christopher Nolan film plays backwards. A must for any cinephile.

SUGGESTED BY: MAX KURTZMAN

THE GREAT BEAUTY:

A rich, Oscar–winning Italian film. All forms of film prestige attained in a single movie.

SUGGESTED BY: AUGIE BERNSTEIN

HER:

Scarlett Johansson sounds sexier than we look and she seduces Joaquin Phoenix purely with her voice. Did we mention she basically plays a phone?

‘Iron Lung’ and the Rise of the YouTuber Film

Iron Lung shows how a creator with a large online audience turned a low budget game adaptation into strong box office revenue through fan driven promotion and social reach. YouTube creators build direct audience ties, run production pipelines, and mobilize viewers to support projects across media platforms. The film’s performance signals a shift where online personalities compete with studio backed releases through community scale and digital marketing power.

Beauty, Blood, and Blockbusters

Paul Feig adapts Freida McFaddenu's The Housemaid into a spectacle; one with just a little more shock value.

‘Wicked: For Good’ is for the Theatre Kids

Wicked: For Good closes its story without awards recognition but with clear creative conviction. The film’s reception reflects a mismatch between its intentions and critical expectations. Designed as the second half of a continuous narrative, it prioritizes character depth and long-term emotional payoff over accessibility. In doing so, For Good succeeds less as a crowd-pleaser and more as a film made for those already invested in the world of Wicked.
