  Babygirl 2024

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 13 Mar 2025 1

  I’ve been developing a theory, which I’ve tentatively titled “Letterboxd Derangement Syndrome”, to describe why it is that Babygirl (along with other films) have such low scores on here. Maybe it’s just cope, I honestly don’t know; but I find it staggering how a trend has developed in which Letterboxd users specifically, when presented with two (or more) films that are somehow “trashy” in spirit or content (typically belonging to one and/or multiple of the romance/thriller/horror genres), are fully incapable…

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025 5

  I mean no disrespect to Sodey, one of my favorite living filmmakers, but I genuinely didn’t think he had this in him.

  Suspiria 2018

  ★★★★★ Watched 03 Nov 2018 3

  This was everything I wanted it to be. It was horrific, beautiful, pretentious, and just bloody perfect (figuratively and literally). It’s BY FAR my favorite movie of the year, and the only movie I’ve ever seen that could even come close to topping The Social Network as my favorite movie of all time.

  
  I’m going to hold off till a rewatch to put this on my favorites list (edit: lmfao that didn’t happen) but seriously, I don’t think one watch…
