Cruel Intentions 1999
It all started going downhill when Sebastian started to have feelings though on the other hand it’s good propaganda for the exact type of boy who is watching this movie. Needle drops were iconic throughout and Selma Blair is impeccable in all of her roles.

La Cocina 2024
AGHHHHhh I hate that the film immediately calls for The Bear comparisons because it is so so much more than a kitchen thriller.

Before Midnight 2013
A hair too long and the conversation a hair too real. Made me petrified of someone falling out of love with you. I enjoyed all the Greek stars, but, there was something jarring about the introduction of so many new characters, and also the color composition was so different and less romantic. But then again I watched the entire trilogy in 12 hours so can’t have too many qualms, can I? Ethan Hawke was obsessed w the nipple though.
