Benedetta 2021
Verhoeven’s Marie Antoinette. A seething repudiation of the Catholic Church’s insular universe, and numerous, ironically blasphemous hypocrisies. The notion of eternal suffering and martyrdom as Godliness chafes painfully against the realities of earthly pleasure and the possibility of biblical mercy and spiritual salvation.
Faith fails to fully flourish surrounded by deceit and greed, but the body and soul never lie. Love is redemption. Through affection for one another, we can be closer to God.

Saint Omer 2022
The monstrous mother recontextualized as an everyday human; a courtroom drama completely disinterested in guilt or innocence, choosing to find resonance in what’s said and left hanging in the air instead. Who would think a film about a child murderer could have so much grace and humanity, aided by two of the best performances of the year?

A Mighty Wind 2003
Funny as fuck and endlessly charming before it decides to be transphobic for shits and giggles. Anyway. Love when movies do a Bring It On. :)

They made a beanie (with a pom-pom!) for the cutest terrier you've ever seen in your life...
