I Am Not a Serial Killer 2016
literally spent over a year trying to find all the right words for this LMAO
I Am Not A Serial Killer is one of the most beautiful films I’ve seen in a long time. I couldn’t help but be completely sucked into it upon first watch just from a filmmaking perspective.

the entire 136 minutes of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is just pure rising action — no classic hollywood three-act narrative structure to be seen here. this isn’t necessarily a complaint, though. AtS-V was an absolute marvel of modern animation technology, which was the entire reason…
