  The Piano Teacher 2001

  Watched 25 Mar 2025

  another french crime against humanity

  I did find the last 15(?) minutes poignant, but ultimately not worth it. I guess i was glad for the opportunity to sit through something challenging tho. Main actress is incredible

  The Seed of the Sacred Fig 2024

  Watched 19 Mar 2025

  -the real social media footage
  -how macro sociopolitical issues manifest on the micro scale within a family dynamic
  -the newly classic phenomenon of social media as a primary source for the youth vs. older folks' alleigance to mainstream news
  -tied up in a bow with a last act reminiscent of the shining, but better

  Very happy i got to see this. An ode to the women fighting this issue on all fronts. Need to circle back and see what the fig metaphor is

  Wicked 2024

  ★½ Watched 29 Nov 2024

  Sorry, not the target audience I guess. confused as to how an honestly compelling story (lifelong pariah and outcast instinctively takes a stance against oppression and is willing to disrupt the power structure to advocate for the oppressed, compared to a character who understands the issue presented but is ultimately more comfortable siding with the system that has always upheld her) ended up so... boring? Like cmonn, I dressed up for this! Kept wondering when it would be over

  Gets 1.5 stars for the giggles and Fiyero and the Moment that was the end of Defying Gravity
