Drive My Car 2021
The yearn for connection. This is a feeling I have felt all my life, as with everyone. It’s human nature, to want to know others and communicate. But this movie so acutely represents the loneliness felt from being unable to grow that connection with someone you deeply want to, to understand them fully and simply ‘get them’. But often that isn’t possible, even with the most important people in our lives, we may truly never know them as we would…

Ocean Waves 1993
A Look-Back on Studio Ghibli’s unconventional coming of age and incidental queer film, I Can Hear The Sea. All quotes, unless specified, are derived from the Blu-Ray exclusive (?) Looking Back: Staff Reunion special filmed in 2003, which sees the Young Production Team brought back together (alongside snippets of Toshio Suzuki separately) to reflect the positives and negatives of the original production, and their lives since.
“After the film was finished, we brought a 35mm movie projector to Ghibli’s bar and…

Mickey 17 2025
Warner Bros. scrambling over this film, delaying its release for a whole year, changing its final date 3 times, and marketing it entirely on the optics of Robert Pattinson’s dashingly squirmy good looks, is admittedly understandable once you sit down and watch the film. MICKEY 17 is an undiluted vision, through every movement you can feel an artist at play. It’s very rare that that level of effort be put towards a movie that (generously) operates on bozo mode, and…

Demon Pond 1979
The miracle of being able to experience DEMON POND at all supersedes any of the criticisms I hold toward it. Such a gem hidden away all these years, it’s a delight to be able to hold its disc and know it’ll never be lost again. It’s equally a delight to know that this gem lives up to its mystery, a surprisingly gripping drama who’s dips into fantasy and traditional folklore come few and far between. The titular demon pond is used…

Emilia Pérez 2024
Lead by two inexplicably strong performances from Zoe Saldaña and Karla Sofia Gascón, EMILIA PÉREZ really tries its hardest to convince you that it has anything interesting to say or show. But as the film transitions from thriller to musical to trashy telenovella, it reveals its complete lack of substance, of anything to latch onto. Its cast of characters lack any moment to connect with either the viewer or each other, which culminates in a would-be powerful ending without an…

The Simpsons Christmas Special 1989
“But he's a loser. He's pathetic. He's...a Simpson.”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single episode of the Simpsons all the way through. I was always more of a fan of Family Guy, which still reigns true today, although I don’t regularly watch either show. However, with the release of Plusaversary, I decided to watch all the Simpsons shorts on Disney+. During this, I discovered this was listed on Letterboxd. I didn’t know what episode it was, or how long…
