Promising Young Woman 2020
I am not going to fall for the same trap as I did with Saltburn and watch this again, lest it be another bitter disappointment.
On face value, Carey Mulligan is brilliant but ultimately is betrayed by the plot, which once again Emerald Fennell has lost. That’s not to say I don’t value the subject matter, the message is a potent one. It just left me wanting a more compelling and believable arc for a character who was such a…

Challengers 2024
Come onnnnn!!!
Game, set, and match. LG has done it again.
This one warrants a rewatch while a little silly, hopefully with I+L, where I will give my fuller thoughts.

Sufjan impeccably punctuates the story into two acts + epilogue. Is it a video? Is Timothée Chalamet Lisan Al Gaib? All I know for certain is that somewhere in northern Italy there is a harvest of stone fruits so bountiful that I may yet know true love.

Saltburn 2023
First watch: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Second watch: 😫.5Looking back on my first watch, I’m realizing what a mf simp I was for Jacob Elordi who until that point I had never laid eyes upon. Nothing else really mattered. And while on this second and probably last ever watch my gasps were still audible (apologies to The Straights™ in attendance), I didn’t totally fall for the gay-baiting. They really lost the plot on this one. Emerald Fennel is a brilliant director, there’s so much beauty and intrigue in the nuts and bolts of the film. But whack is whack.
