  Mr. Nobody Against Putin 2025

  Watched 31 Jan 2025

  This Vladimir Putin guy seems not-great!

  Sorry, Baby 2025

  ★★★ Watched 31 Jan 2025

  Excellent performances all around: Eva Victor is sooo charming and Lucas Hedges was born to play a hot next-door neighbor. The writing, on the other hand, was not quite as sharp, especially that ending monologue (although the title-card-as-punchline allowed me to forgive it, mostly).

  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Nov 2024

  A little bit Da Vinci code, a little bit sorority election drama. Stanley Tucci seems the most qualified to be pope!

  Anora 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Jan 2025

  So funny, so unexpectedly moving--probably my favorite movie from 2024? I'm often been Sean Baker-skeptical, but now I'm sold; genuinely really smart in the way it thinks through different forms of power. Also, the way it used Russia as a foil to make a film about America was Nabokov-level business. Also, get Mikey Madison her Oscar already!
