    Poor Things

    ★★★

    Poor Things tries to do a lot, but one area where it absolutely succeeds is stylized zooming in and out. More zooms in movies please!

  • Drive-Away Dolls

    Drive-Away Dolls

    ★★★

    A cynical person could imagine the pitch of this as Ethan saying "hey i want to do The Big Lebowski but targeted for lgbtq millennials" But the two leads really give this one its raison d'être. Fun watch.

    Damn that was funny. Also wonderful to not hear the terms “Covid” or “cancel culture” in a standup special, holy shit

    ★★

    A fascinating story largely ruined by a documentarian who wanted too much annoying on-screen time.
