    To Live and Die in L.A.

    ★★★½

    A sweaty, slippery slope ride blurring the lines between cops and bad guys. 

    It’s a bit thread bare at times narratively, but everyone is giving maximum effort which covers up lots of the thin bits. 

    Fun to see larval stage Dafoe as well.

  • Emilia Pérez

    Emilia Pérez

    ★★

    Whenever one of the “songs” began I wanted my eyes and ears to turn into “penis and vagina” and spare me the suffering.

    Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

    ½

    Me: “can I have some narrative?”

    Salo: “here is a tray of poop.” 

    Me: “can the suffering at least serve an artistic purpose?” 

    Salo: “Did I mention the poop?”

  • The Puppetman

    The Puppetman

    ★★★

    Fun premise lost by refusing to follow its own rules.
