Jawbreaker 1999
Everything vile about 90s post-feminism (except that everyone in this school is a lesbian) and yet, Rose McGowan is so hot.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2017
I normally love Yorgos but I found this quite draining. Like it's very beautiful and well acted and sinister but I think the classic Yorgosness didn't hit for me because his dialogue has this clinical coldness that I really enjoy in a charming film like the Lobster or even in the mad fantasy of Poor Things, but this was cold and clinical in its plot and execution as well and it was just too much.

Suspiria 1977
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
As a wannabe but entirely failed film nerd, who has been surrounded by pretentious (affectionate) film nerds forever, this fell really short for me. Incredibly beautiful and unnerving film making. Adored the use of light and colour, and I know there's a definitive style to the neo-expressionist genre that is artificial and exaggerated but surely they could've found a lead with any acting chops whatsoever? The exposition was often painful although I did adore the room where they store their razorwire. An absolute health and safety nightmare.

Queer 2024
They really caught the sensation of reading a Burroughs book: it's stunning, strange, and more than a little bit exhausting. An almost neurotic attention to detail (yellow nicotine stains between Lee's fingers). Daniel Craig was perfect and the twink was perfectly nothing. This is a film about power interplay: the power of youth against the power of wealth, the power of addiction, obsession and shame, and the isolation of all of them. I adored the merging and the finale but the Nirvana songs were a bad choice and the first half dragged: as ever, this could've been 90mins.
