  Anora 2024

  ★★ Watched 16 Oct 2024

  he ‘stripped’ her down to the bone. by the end she was holding her flayed skin, covered in glitter, for us to leer at. deeply sickening. an evil movie.

  is sean baker truly unpacking what he’s serving to the audience in the last 15 minutes? I’ll have to watch his other films to figure it out. left a disgusting taste in my mouth. 

  however… mikey madison is transcendent.

  Uncut Gems 2019

  Rewatched 14 Mar 2025

  after watching GOOD TIME and HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT i decided to revisit this… mostly because i hated it when i saw it in 2019 (as part of an impromptu double feature with LITTLE WOMEN). 

  i still don’t love it, or even really like it, but can appreciate the safdies and the development of their signature style…though i prefer the tightly controlled propulsion of GOOD TIME to the frantic anxiety of this.

  my palms were sweating the entire last 45 minutes. julia fox is a star.

  Queer 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Oct 2024

  i’m not queer. i’m disembodied.
  
  wasn’t expecting to love it as much as i did… a psychedelic story of a drug-addled man meandering through Latin America in search of telepathy.

  telepathy… the desire to be underneath someone’s skin… the desire to see their beating heart next to yours… and the tragedy of being alone. 

  redemption for challengers. easily luca’s best since call me by your name.

  serious pacing & rhythm issues. extremely tedious. was walking in place for the last 30 mins begging for it to end. when it has a pulse it is fun!!

  not very “good”. strongest when the cast can go wild together. dinner scene was my fave. i’ve always liked bong’s brand of irreverence.
