  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Feb 2025

  A beautiful depiction of brotherly relationships, depression, and human connection. I related to both main characters because I’ve been both of them at different times in my life with different bros of my own. This film is so full of life and Kieran’s character was incredibly believable and heartbreaking. Some people may go into the film expecting more about the history, but I appreciated the focus on the current world we live in and how the past can feel so…

  Mulholland Drive 2001

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 Jan 2025

  I will never forget the experience I had watching this on the big screen at the Academy Museum. The combination of sound and images shook me in a way that I still can’t put into words.

  Goodbye, you strange, brilliant old friend. Thank you for all the films only you could make.

  The Holdovers 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Nov 2023

  A warm and wholesome movie to watch alone or with family over the holidays. It’s not perfect or groundbreaking, but it would serve as a great comfort meal for the winter months when we need it most.

  Hilarious and sad at the same time. Thank god for Nicolas Cage. No one could have fit this role better than him.
