    ★★★★

    Genuinely exciting and pacing borderline modern. I’m in the mood for hyperbole but where is the Sirk reclamation?

  • Notting Hill

    Notting Hill

    ★★★

    Undercooked until it isn’t, obviously behemoth performances by Robert’s and Grant. Would be 2X better without possibly the goofiest score EVER

    ★★★★★

    There’s a certain sense of rage which develops when you work with children in a vulnerable population, toward their parents and families. That anger dissipates into sadness when those children’s children come through too. I don’t know Baker’s background or story but he certainly communicates a sense of empathy toward a population that is rarely extended by those fortunate enough to make a film. I think that alone makes this an accomplishment

    ★★★★★

    The twenty-teens seem connected to the 60s. Probably obvious to hold this observation for Targets but I can’t shake the connection between cultural malaise and suburban psychosis. More likely is they belong to a much larger, much longer, American through line.
