Fine message, really heavy handed.
Strange, meandering, illegible third act.

Past Lives 2023
Tight story with memorable performances. Threads the needle of having a complicated and compelling female lead without cornering her into rigid metrics of heroic success or villainous failure. She is flawed without being unsympathetic, and relatable without being universal. Masterful, subtle.

The Power of the Dog 2021
A real book of a movie. I understand the themes, I did not feel that many of the intended undertones were carried off. Felt underwritten, there’s only so much a sidelong glance can convey about the internality of the characters if no one is saying what they mean.
Excellent costuming

The Last Duel 2021
A surprise. A movie with a well executed message and clever use of perspective, but nothing about the cinematography or costuming felt original or exciting. A movie, not a masterpiece. Well acted.
