  Happiness 1998

  ★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Deeply, deeply uncomfortable, which is something I'd praise it more for if it wasn't so boring. Excessively long in the tooth, which prevents it from being an excellent film in my eyes. All of these characters are intriguing to watch, but the stories themselves drag on too much. Could've benefitted from a shorter cut.

  Watched late so my purchase in the Criterion sale wasn't blind. I can safely say that I can't wait to rewatch this on a big TV in 4K.

  Exhibiting Forgiveness 2024

  ★½ Watched 07 Oct 2024 3

  My first and probably last AMC Screen Unseen.

  I'm sorry, but I get nothing out of these dime-a-dozen family dramas. Yeah it probably stems from a very personal place in the filmmaker's heart, but I feel nothing except boredom. I fell asleep for like half an hour of this. It's kinda well shot and pretty well acted, but I just don't give a shit about this movie. Sorry. Never forgive your abusers by the way.
