Greetings from Lithuania.
"Perfect Days" (2023) is an excellent character study drama. Its slowly paced film that centers on a man's daily life in Tokyo. The man does his job, goes about his daily routine and enjoys every minute of. And while on paper this premise sound oversimplistic and, frankly, boring, "Perfect Days" is anything but boring.
More then once i have seen my life in this characters life. Although i live on a another continent and my job is different, but one can quickly relate to a character who is doing same routine every day, and lives simplistic life. Acting by lead actor was amazing, screenplay and directing were very good and music choices were on spot.
Overall, "Perfect Days" is as good as character study movies go. Its a very simple film, on a surface, and its story isn't anything to write home about, but its the storytelling that kept me glued to the screen for its entire run time. Great movie.

"The Apprentice" (2024) tells a story about young Donald Trump and his rise into a stardom in the early 80's as well as his relationship with his lawyer and mentor. This movie at its running time 1 h 49 min wasn't best paced movie, and it does drag here and there. But while there are some shortcoming with screenplay, performances is what elevates this movie. Sebastian Stan was excellent as young Donald Trump - mannerism, body language, speech - its all so well known to everyone at this point so actor should have felt a pressure to portray such a well known person. Jeremy Strong is a another terrific performer in "The Apprentice" - no wonder both of them Oscar nominations.
Overall, i did enjoy "The Apprentice" more then i thought i will have. You do get a good glimpse in the early years of Donald Trump, the style of the movie is just breezing with 80's, its a funny film and at the same time a bit haunting at the end.

"Thelma" (2024) isn't a particularly great movie by any means - but its well meant, well spirited, has a simple yet good plot and acting by June Squibb is so good that it does make for a good watch. At running time 1 h 35 min this movie did dragged here and there, but overall its a good film. It has something to say about aging, perception of old people in a family and about one not willing to face the fact that he is old. But at the end one has to do it.
Overall, "Thelma" is about an old person trying to defy the odds. And yes, "Mission Impossible" reference is a funny one if by no means a parody. Even the end title sequence is clearly inspired by MI famous tune. All in all, a pretty good little movie.
