  A lovely and kind movie. Gets on with a bibliophile's spider senses.
  Sean Penn is devastating when he's devastated. Echoes of Mystic River here. Unexpectedly good.

  Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Mar 2018

  Seriously how could anyone be fooled by such artifacts? You must know absolutely nothing about art history. Clues are everywhere. This mockumentary is a wonderful example of what power we give to anything that is said by TV of said by a so-subtitled "expert". Kudos to the authors.

  Call Me by Your Name 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2018

  I want fifteen movies like this one for each Hollywood movie out. Fifteen at least.
  Absolutely nothing about this movie is wrong. Music - script - characters, everything feels so true and Jesus it was ages since I watched a movie where no sentence is predictable. No attempts to create social scandal, to victimize characters, to make unreal scenes that satisfy unreal expectations about love.
  And most of everything, this is a story about love where the two lovers are…
