Love Lies Bleeding 2024

Sweet Smell of Success 1957
You’re dead, son. Get yourself buried.
A poison-pen tale of a man who rules over a kingdom of nothing, able to destroy or make lives at a whim. Burt Lancaster’s lion disguised as a man roars his way through the film using his considerable frame to impose his terrible will on any who would cross him.

First Reformed 2017
Will God Forgive Us?
I would never say this is my favorite film but I would say it has been since 2017 the film I have most thought about.
We drown alone. Drowning is a quiet desperate thing. This movie is watching someone drown. Moreover it is watching yourself drown if you have any sort of relationship to the church or care about the earth. “The blackness was always there” says Rev. Tolliver early in the film and over the…
