Longlegs 2024
I love movies where the scariest part is your imagination after leaving the theatre; lighting and shot framing in Longlegs build up such a sense of dread that something sinister is always lurking in the background... the lingering fear of shadows in the corner of your eye. I try and fight against thinking of this movie due to that uneasy feeling, but the more I do the more I can find to appreciate of the film itself. Like the trauma of Agent Harker, it's always at the back of my mind. Evil doesn't come from the devil, but what we do in our fear of it.

Carol 2015
Hazily intimate— with so many shots through windows and mirrors, Haynes perfectly conveys a feeling of love with forced distance and the longing for contact that brings. Voyeurism as a framing for forbidden love, and how isolating it is to be an observer.

Very fun flick. Plus seeing silly D&D monsters on the big screen is just really cool as a player/DM

The Perfect Human 1968
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Jørgen Leth is bringing these mundane tasks of these humans to our attention by saying they are perfect. These people aren't perfect, though, and throughout the film we can visibly see them slightly messing up in imperfect ways (like accidentally moving the plate slightly when serving food, or not cutting the nails properly). So this asks the question of why the narrator is telling us these people are perfect?
For one, it could be that we are all perfect, and…

The Neighbors' Window 2019
This feels like an insult to my intelligence as a viewer and to my emotions at a whole. It is so painfully obvious what this short is trying to tell you because of how violently it thrusts it's message onto the screen- the message being sometimes one upper middle class white family isn't better than another upper middle class family despite how it might seem on the outside. At the same time, though, it really has nothing to do with…
