Spring Breakers 2012
Strange movie. It's not without its flaws, especially on plot and pacing where its weird timeskips and plot gaps feel confusing with warps here and there, but it makes up for its shortcomings almost everywhere else. Addicting cinematography, blaring lights, delirious scores, you name it.
But it's a movie that aged well, unexpectedly so I would add, on its prophetic value. Of course, I don't think Harmony Korine intended this movie to be anything remotely prophetic and lasting. The way…

Young Werther 2024
Review 1/4. See here for Review 2 and Review 3.

Sugarcane 2024
Very frustrating documentary that shouldn't be told with such degrees of incompetence. The topic's so relevant and the stories important and compelling enough that they have to be told. In this day and age of increased sectarianism in Canadian society, with particular sentiments coming from the Conservative Party of Canada and their terrorist-aligned opposition leader, movies like this is becoming more important than ever.
Unfortunately, the way Kassie and NoisyCat chose to engage with it - one of disengagement and…
