Every David Lynch movie I’ve seen over the last few days is my new favorite Lynch movie. I rode the bus with someone on their way to this one (first time seeing for both of us!) and we got drenched in a downpour, then ended up sitting together. This has been the best festival to connect over the magic that David Lynch made.

I got to see this with an award presentation and Q&A with Colman Domingo. He was asked how he hopes this movie will transform viewers, and he turned the question to someone in the audience to say how it transformed them. For me, I teach in a school where most children are touched by the carceral system. They have family or friends who are incarcerated, and some of them have already been incarcerated.

Very beautiful and devastating. An animated climate crisis that finds warmth amidst chaos. Nearly cried because I needed to get home to my dog asap.

Face hurt from laughing and my friend and I couldn’t stop giggling for an hour after. The absolute extreme of Tim Robinson’s comedy that left us sick with glee.

A movie about a third place—and especially one being lost—is always going to get me. The offbeat humor and natural quality of the dialogue were a treat to watch with other people in one of my third places.

I’m really into the experimentation with first-person camera POV between this and Nickel Boys, though this reminded me more of A Ghost Story, not only because ghosts but also just the single in-house setting.
