    I Saw the TV Glow

    ★★★½

    knowing more about the director has allowed me to appreciate this film in its entirety. while this is clearly a story about transness, the idea that there is still time can be applied to multiple scenarios. i wouldn't label this a horror film, although there is something scary about owen's insistence to maintain the status quo despite his dissatisfaction with his life. im reminded of a post that weighs the pain of staying where you are against the pain of…

    went into this movie with low expectations but actually had a decent time. this movie is the lovechild of the menu and midsommar, combining the exploration of cults and celebrity. opus borrows a lot from its predecessors, but still manages to shock and surprise. performance wise, ayo is the shining star and john a constellation in her universe. whoever chose maggot brain dlz for the credits deserves excellent head.

    crazy idea guys maybe we shouldn’t idolize people in death just saying 

    on becoming a guinea fowl is a simple yet poignant exploration of zimbabwean death culture and the postmortem idolization of shitty men. while the film centers around fred’s death, the women in his family are champions of the story. the scene with shula and her cousins in bed, the singing in the pantry, and the final scene really drive this home. overall a solid film that cautions against the normalization of sexual abuse in the nuclear family.
