His Girl Friday 1940
Watched this too young & unfortunately it formed the basis of my entire personality! Knowledge is intimacy! Work is pleasure! There’s nothing worse than being treated like a woman & nothing better than yelling at the person you love!
Casually has very good politics. Absolutely canon that Hildy & Walter had premarital sex while hiding out after stealing that woman’s stomach.

Crossing Delancey 1988
God they really used to let people have faces in movies. Going to buy a big hat and make that my entire personality.

Past Lives 2023
Very tender, perhaps too neat, in the way of a well executed workshop story (affectionate, as ever). And then — also in the way of a workshop story — the time you’ve spent with these characters accretes such that the last turn, expected as it is, falls, heavy and precise, a surprise not in terms of content but impact. Sadness rarely has such aesthetics to recommend it — is rarely, I mean, truly melancholy — but gosh wouldn’t it be nice if it was and did?
