    ★★★

    my mean spirited and irritated immediate impression:

    it’s not the journey, it’s the destination — unfortunately although I really liked a lot of the journey I really didn’t like the last 30 minutes and that does kinda color the whole journey in a worse light

    But I wanted to love it yall and I did quite like it for like, 1.2 whole acts. There’s a beautiful story in there waiting to be executed better… but that rich father/son combo both…

    The Substance

    ★★★½

    so ridiculously on the nose but it works bc you definitely did not expect where that nose is

    and actually deeply affecting to me… like it’s a really good allegory at the end of the day it’s not new it’s not subtle but that’s fine it’s really good. get ready to get older

    and sorry beside the point but did this heightened style remind anyone else of the Martin Scorsese timothee chalamet BLEU DE CHANEL ad 

    because I was thinking the whole time about the Martin Scorsese timothee chalamet BLEU DE CHANEL ad

    Idk idk idk idk idk I feel just as conflicted and anxious watching this film as I do thinking about the experience of my own life and living day after day after day. just watching the light through the trees. just watching the light shimmer through the trees. just now and now and now. idk
