    I Saw the TV Glow

    ★★★

    Ashamed to say it was a plane watch, but it moved around structurally in a way that surprised me – not always pleasantly. The thesis was strong, and I was prematurely flattered when friends said it reminded them of my own recent work with the Midnight Salon. It was a fresh angle to the "jumanji-sci-fi" of entering a fictional world, more disturbing than Jumanji 1 and less disturbing than Jumanji 3.

    I loved the show they loved. It didn't happen…

    To Die For

    ★★★★

    Sinister delights of a narcissistic gangbuster. The mesh of tragedy and calamity with a true crime parody ahead of its time is either well-balanced, well-timed or the bullseye. So many faces of 1990s "American Life" telling so many stories of reality and dignity. It was a dance of seamless causality.

    No Walters were harmed in the solving of this murder.

    It's like a long lost fairy tale of death and memories. I have a lot more to say, but I'm going to wait for the official release.

    It was an unimaginable honour to be a part of this film.

    Like looking into the sun on 100% reduced sun filter. Really painful and destructive, but unfathomably beautiful.
