    About a year ago I discovered a podcast for film lovers that just clicked for me the moment I pressed play. One year later I decide to join a holiday gift exchange in a community formed around that podcast and I receive this incredible film from a stranger.

    The score by Tangerine Dream never missed a beat. The nighttime city shots and overall neon color palette feel familiar and real but also very original. Robert Prosky brings such an interesting “bad guy”…

    Fun flick but outside of the car chase stuff it was just kind of…boring? This should be right up my alley but I couldn’t get fully on board.

    Everything felt so real and it was really jarring and scary the way the story played out. This and Sacred Fig both nailed the deeply disturbing way this type of stuff can happen. 

    Uncommon W by the Academy.

    NEW TOP FOUR ALERT 🚨

    When the mom sparks a joint and says “we’re sending bibles to El Salvador” lmfao. I feel like I was confused by something in every single scene in the best way possible. Such a fun movie.
