    ★★★★½

    La La Land still hurts like the first time. Mia and Seb’s "what-if" montage is my personal villain origin story. Chazelle's dreamy cinematography feels like poetry in motion; every second could be a movie poster on my wall. This movie isn’t just about love, it's about how beautifully devastating it is when dreams outgrow reality. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling will forever have my film-major heart, even though they keep breaking it. (I'm still crying btw.)

    Willem Dafoe is shockingly the only landlord I want to defend

    Nothing revolutionary, but I wasn't mad at it. Music was insane and has me listening to "I aint the one, Babe" on REPEAT.

    Was sort of hoping for a bit more of depth/emotion, but enjoyed it nonetheless.

    Fun watch. Love Timmy always

    ★★★★★

    Little Miss Sunshine is an absolute masterpiece of dysfunctional family chaos, and I love it with my whole heart. This movie somehow manages to be hilarious and gut-punch devastating at the same time, which is exactly my kind of emotional rollercoaster. Every character is beautifully flawed, from Steve Carell’s depressed, sweater-wearing uncle to Paul Dano’s angsty, Nietzsche-loving teen (relatable). And Abigail Breslin? Ugh a star.

    The film is basically one long, disastrous road trip set in an old yellow van…
