     I didn't want to use him to fill up my emptiness.

    Still on rewatch, I’m left speechless with a lump in my throat, struggling to put into words the many emotions I have surrounding this. 

    The ironic title itself, being a foundation of Travis’s motivation and as a path to redemption, this fantasy of a picturesque life uses a word of prestige to mask an unattainable reality. While obviously one of the most beautiful-looking films Robert Müller captures the vibrancy and…

    Never have I engaged in such a way with a film. David Lowery perfectly encapsulates existentialism and grief in the most beautifully painful way. The concept of two deaths, when you die and when someone moves on from the idea of you.

    I definitely need to revisit Oceans Eleven but am I crazy to think this is Soderbergh’s best???

    Michael Fassbender is one of the greatest active talents working today, stealing every scene he’s in.
