    Brokeback Mountain

    ★★★½

    Read the story version and then watched this right after (both for class) 

    Nearly wished I hadn’t read the story version or had waited longer till I watched the movie (gave it less of a natural feel I was waiting for certain moments, etc.)


    But overall I thought it was moving and well done. A lot of great scenes but in particular the one with Heath Ledger calling Anne Hathaway was so well done (and subtly different from the book.)

    ★★★★

    Watched for the first time ever somehow. Not a whole lot of new things to say about this movie but so human, what an ending. 

    Also I love the soundtrack and I love Kimya Dawson.

    Really brutal and really well done. Highly reccomend.

    Anatomy of a Fall

    ★★★★★

    Perhaps one of the best movies of 2023 and that I’ve seen. Also the defense lawyer looked like Thomas Frank and the Prosecuting Lawyer like Mikey Day.
