  Molly's Game 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Feb 2025

  Blink Twice 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 31 Jan 2025

  important project, feels like zoe's way of bringing awareness to these very real situations. incredible soundtrack, especially the 'aint nobody' reveal. thought it actually would've been more fucked up to garner the trigger warning at the beginning but the narrative use of the vape is awesome. love how it all unfolds and there are some very neat shots
