  Mitt 2014

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 18 Oct 2022

  Whiteley accomplishes the impossible: making Mitt Romney look human. The expert filmmaking puts watchers through the emotional toll of election campaigning. Mitt is an immersive, beautifully crafted, and unique addition to the documentary genre.

  Juno 2007

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Oct 2022

  Every actor, every scene, and every line built this film to be a stunning portrayal of the emotional stresses and questions of motherhood and family. That said, Michael Cera is in it, so that's an automatic -1/2 star. For a movie about a process and a question I will never encounter firsthand, I was moved dangerously close to tears.

  ★★★ Watched 23 Sep 2022

  Don't Worry Darling is a rather simplistic film. It asserts a surface level discussion of the tensions between freedom and comfort. In my view the experience was only made enjoyable due to being in a theatre full of students who were incapable of taking Harry Styles seriously and applauded every time a man died.
