    I watched "Before Sunset" last night and am so speechless about how good it was that I literally can't review it there. It feels wrong. Something must be said, just not there... Anyways,
    "This is 40" is not that- it actually kinda sucks!

    Salt-water is such a cruel joke.

    I know just how he feels because the way he wrestles with his faith is how I'm wrestling between 4 and 4 1/2 stars. All I know is that when I consider pushback against imminent and ongoing environmental destruction as being a projection of internal strife I start to feel pretty hopeless. It's a film that avoids simple explanations and keeps you chewing.

    The Substance

    ★★★★½

    A film that gets beneath the skin to show us our shallow worldview and culture: beauty's conceptual/actual reliance on aging+disability, self-hatred. A bony finger points toward the end: the audience's fear of bathing in faceless and nameless blood.
