    Wait, Rian Johnson was an editor on this????

    Black Bag

    ★★★★

    What Black Bag presupposes is, “What if a big nerd loved his hot wife - and they were both spies who *fucked?*”

    BlacKkKlansman

    ★★½

    A series of confused symbols, too much sympathy for the cops, and really superficial representations of both white supremscists and the complicated folks at the center of Black revolutionary thought. 

    It’s a movie made to lend comfort to white audiences that they’re not those kinds of racists.

    Red Rooms

    ★★★★

    24 hours later and I’m still troubling over what Red Rooms is *about* - not its plot but what it’s trying to say with its icy heroine who only seems to warm up under the gaze of an accused serial killer. 

    I’ve read some commentary linking it to true crime obsessive but Red Rooms seems to be tracking in something singular: a desire to not only observe spectacle but to be inside of it.
