Heretic 2024
Guess I don't hate Hugh Grant and his acting.
Kind of a "babby's first theology class" but it felt like a good primer for the topic. The audio cues for your typical horror moments were sometimes a little thick but they weren't out of place.
A shame this didn't get that much attention, I thought it was genuinely a fun watch.

Only Yesterday 1991
TLDR: Arguably nostalgia-bait but makes you think about how you weren't always your own best reflection of your values.
As you can kinda figure from the poster, this movie is heavy with nostalgia. But I can't really speak too much on the accuracy since I wasn't born and raised in 1970's Japan-land.
You're watching two stories unfold at the same time. A twenty-something year old woman who wants to escape from her generic desk job in Tokyo to hang out…

Memoir of a Snail 2024
TLDR: You don't *need* to watch in theaters, but be prepared for an emotional roller coaster.
I only vaguely heard of Adam Elliot's 2003 Harvie Krumpet which sits in my YouTube "watch later list" from back when StumbleUpon used to be a thing (ask your parents, kids)
From my understanding, Memoir of a Snail isn't as gutwrenching as Harvie, but it still suffocates you with the murkiness of the protagonist's (un)luck.
I have never been so invested in clay characters. I forgot pretty quickly that I was watching claymation because the movement was so fluid and the voice acting was so spot-on.
