  I was weeping before the title came up, elated heading into the intermission, and confused and dissatisfied at the end.

  Helen and the Bear 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Oct 2024

  Saw as part of BendFilm 2024, really gorgeous, made over 7 years. Director Alix was in attendance and talked about tensions inherent in life and relationships and what we get from them but also what we give up.

  She said there are five steps to creativity: 
  1. This is cool! 
  2. This is hard 
  3. This is shit 
  4. I am shit 
  5. This might be okay

  Problemista 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 Mar 2024

  A DELIGHT 

  Weird and poignant and complicated and just a joy to watch. This is the role Tilda was meant for, and the narration from Isabella Rossellini is *perfection.* 

  Huge huge bonus is that you will never look at Craigslist the same again, in the best possible way
