    Crossing Delancey

    ★★★★

    Love an NYC film. Love a film with signature hats (both Amy’s and *gasp* the hat on Rosemary Harris). Love a film with a female lead who is complicated and challenging. But most all, I love Bubbie.

  • Black Bag

    Black Bag

    ★★★★

    Me: *stands up to go to the bathroom*
    Friend: Where are you going? 
    Me: Black bag

    But also, what an absolute crime that the default Letterboxd backdrop excludes Cate!!

    People talk about the Scorsese of it all, the De Niro of it all, the Schrader of it all. BUT LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE HERRMANN OF IT ALL. What a way to go out, huh?

    ★★★★½

    Although I may kvetch about some of the plot choices towards the end, it’s hard to deny the sheer grandeur of this film (Score! Sets! Acting!) - a cinematic feast in many ways.

    I also left the theater with things to chew on (not just the numerous snacks I had for the long, but engaging, run-time) - I appreciate that the movie didn’t lay its hand obviously bare like others have this cycle. 

    Also, Felicity’s accent could have been worse! Will count that as a win.
