  Presence 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  Smart construction and cinematography from Soderbergh, but Presence is hard to enjoy when Koepp writes three out of the five main characters so deeply unlikeable, including the eventual villain - who is so comically over the top that it's hard to take seriously.

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Mar 2025

  I Saw the TV Glow 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 30 Jun 2024

  Schoenbrun uses the language of the WB, Nickelodeon and creepypasta to tell a deeply affecting story about what it means to be true to ourselves. Specifically a unique story about trans and queer identity and dysphoria, ISTTVG may feel pitch black, but ultimately reminds the audience that it's never too late to be the real you. I could call this reminiscent of Lynch or Cronenberg, but what Jane has created feels entirely new and marks an exciting leap forward from a major voice.
