  Thelma 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 17 Jul 2024

  i'm actually giving it 3.75 stars but i'm broke so we round down on the half star system 

  ok first of all, Laughed! out loud!! a lot during this movie. 

  second of all, Excellent acting in my opinion, each character was Soooo themselves, no one's acting broke the "world" for me just incredible cast 

  third of all, hello cinematography? i think this is the director's first Big Break and damn i LIKED the directing!! maybe because the director also Wrote…

  Banel & Adama 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Jun 2024

  this scratched sooo many deep, deep itches in my brain! bare but lots to hold on to. avoid learning the plot before watching. what you need to know is: intentional cinematography, focused themes, play/poem, gentle sound, big concepts boiled down into single lines, characters thoughts are largely unspoken (good acting). 

  white ppl in the theatre kinda killed the vibe i'd like to see it again not in that environment

  -> u see a cow get butchered in case u need that heads up

  Arrival 2016

  ★★ Watched 20 Jan 2024 2

  LISTEN!  i watched this movie with pam who has a bachelors in linguistics and is in grad school for speech pathology so watching this movie with them was Everything. i was hanging on to every word they had to say. 

  i highly recommend watching if you're looking to put something on with friends to use ur critical thinking brains to tear it apart. and if u have a friend who studies linguistics , i highly recommend begging them to watch w you like they're on a podcast.

  ★★★ Watched 27 Jan 2024 1

  like, it's goooood...... but not great?

  ok like, it's hard to even focus on the parts i liked because i feel like the film tried to be political and, like the barbie movie, it would've been better if they just stayed apolitical. 

  who's idea was it to make the brown girl stupid and hyper sexual? that's not what "diversity" is? that role was GOOD in the original because it was a white character. if that role is not the actor's…
