  Beau Is Afraid 2023

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 16 Mar 2025

  Love what Aster does to represent our protagonist’s anxiety on screen; Beau gets into an absurd situation and there’s about five different ways it could go for him, with the movie creating a sixth option and choosing that one every single time. It’s pretty much the equivalent of that almost-improbable worst-case scenario actually happening, leading to most of the moments in this movie being funny or tragic, or usually both within the same scene.

  The Monkey 2025

  ★★ Watched 12 Feb 2025

  I’ve only seen Longlegs and The Blackcoat’s Daughter from Perkins, but this doesn’t really seem like anything he’d make.

  Wanted to apologize, before any of this. This’ll probably be a complete waste of your time, and I’m sorry for that. 

  I truly don’t know why I saw this 8 times. I hate almost everything about it. The main performance, the cinematography, and the musical score try to carry this movie, and it doesn’t even come close to doing that, since everything else is just..... empty.

  This movie is a character study, but when it focuses on a character that…
