  • The Gorge

    The Gorge

    ★★½

    completely adequate, good even

    like an extended episode of love, death, and robots, if a bit uninspired in terms of the gorge creatures — but the overall idea was interesting 

    as always, you cannot have both an indeterminate ending and a tight resolution — if you want to be ambiguous, just be that

  • Inherent Vice

    Inherent Vice

    ★★★½

    not quite sure what this was about, but it was a helluva rude

    In Bruges

    ★★★★

    “i really hope i don’t die” — this is definitely a christmas movie

    rewatched on the plane and i totally could’ve finished the whole thing if they didn’t keep making extremely long announcements (edit: finished on the extremely short return flight)

  • Conclave

    Conclave

    ★★★★

    this movie was made for me

    ecclesio-political drama that was also somehow surprisingly earnest and at times genuinely theological - “the Church is what we do next”

    ralph fiennes saying his chosen name would be john is subtle foreshadowing to the actual choice, if you know you know

    plus the cardinals were extremely catty

    of interesting note was that the vestments, while always technically corrected, were longer than they ought to have been in every case, and i wonder if this was an intentional choice on the part of the costume department as it contributed somewhat to the vibe
