  This film has it all and more.

  Bill Skarsgard is an absolutely banger of a villain. Fascinating performance and I could watch and listen to him for hours. 

  Lily Rose Depp was all over the place in her performance — and that’s a good thing. Wild.

  Babygirl 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Dec 2024

  The Intimacy Coordinator earned every damn penny of their rate.

  Promising Young Woman 2020

  ★★★★★ Watched 26 Jan 2020

  Saw the premiere and can’t stop thinking about it. The entire Ray Theater exploded in applause. Carey Mulligan and Bo Burnham are incredible and layered. The perspective on rape culture is spot on. Three scenes absolutely got me: the lawyer’s house, the video on the phone, and the bachelor party nurse scene. Holy shit. 

  I’m touched by this film for what it says about women, society, friendship, and justice.

  Possessor 2020

  ★★★ Watched 26 Jan 2020

  What in the actual fuck? Very stabby and very bloody. The actors did a fine job in a super creepy film. I kept my eyes closed 40% of the time. Wish I had earplugs.

  
  Update: the above was written at Sundance. I watched this film again at home and had much more appreciation for it. Especially Christopher Abbott. Still, stabby.
