  Thrilling from start to finish. Electricity crackling between the characters. Shoutout to Mom for finding it on the TV guide and insisting we watch it.

  Wicked 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Dec 2024

  Cynthia Erivo is the voice of a generation. My mom started crying during defying gravity and then when the credits rolled she looked at me and whispered “music is so powerful,” so that’s my official statement on the matter.

  Priscilla 2023

  ★★ Watched 05 Nov 2023

  Wasted potential! Biopic as a genre needs to lean away from truth-telling and more into fiction. Or at least make a political point. This was a film that starts and ends with Priscilla's identity as a survivor. It offers her no interiority, it offers no politics about witnessing abuse or celebrity, and feels so much more intent on delivering her moping around the Graceland-Glam than anything else.
