  Fantastic, honest and hard hitting film. I really appreciated its portrayal of addiction and representation of deaf people.

  I will be thinking about this one for a while, and hoping to learn how to sit, and write, and find peace within myself.

  ★★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★ Watched 08 Jan 2025
