Lake Mungo 2008
i was up at 3 or 4am tonight, i couldn't sleep. i'd watched a few youtube videos, and then found myself watching mark kermode read some viewer emails about the scariest scenes they'd seen in movies. i didn't watch the whole video, because i saw a comment about this film.
i looked it up and when i saw the synopsis i was taken aback. a few days ago i started writing up a story, i dont know yet how long…

Persona 1966
there is so much to unpack here that it makes me want to immediately rewatch it. i had an idea of what to write here about halfway through but i don't know if i can still focus on that without my mind being invaded by all the other thoughts this conjurs up. all the images and ideas and monologues and hard, uncomfortable truths that are wrapped up in this thing.
i guess i could start with what first hooked me,…

First Reformed 2017
this filled me with a sense of dread that so strong; the veneer of malaise here is so thick and completely all-consuming. that makes the brief moments of respite all the more significant and impactful.
ethan hawke is incredible here. he has this pulled back, restrained performance where you can see the baggage, cogs turning, and pain in his eyes along with the subtle changes in his expression. there was a real risk, like there was with cillian murphy's flawless…

Hardcore 1979
george c scott my beloved. this film contained some great bits of dark comedy, some incredibly good conversations about faith, sex, and different views thereof, some emotional heft when it needed, and one of the most uncomfortable and hard to watch scenes i've ever seen, which i can only compare to the deer hunter scene in jarhead. it's the one that the poster comes from, and the poster is what made me wanna watch this thing. look, you show george…

The French Dispatch 2021
wes anderson has found such an amazing niche with his style. with this film, i feel like he's finally found a story that compliments his artistic idiosynchrasies perfectly. when he unchains the script from a traditional narrative progression, and instead gets to create vignettes to explore and paint in painstaking detail, the experience is just so fun and thought-provoking and, for lack of a better world, nourishing.
the editing is timed so that before each cut, you have enough time…

Megalopolis 2024
i watched this with my girlfriend in the theater and it was such a great experience. for months, i'd been looking forward to seeing this. i've loved francis ford coppola's movies since i first watched the godfather when i was like 13, and i've loved his daughter's movies just as much or even more. he's one of the directors that i most admire, so when i was reading headlines about how no studios wanted to distribute his final work, i…
