Anora 2024
Charmed by Yura Borisov! Igor/Armenian bits innocent from otherwise disjointed characterizations (esp Ani) and tepid script. More screwball comedy than I expected which was fun! but the pacing was off for me. Based off the hype/talk about what a collaboration this was with real sex workers, I expected some new concept maybe. That said was still entertained.

The Substance 2024
Bashes you over the head with the same obvious points I kept thinking OK WE GOT IT. Annoyingly literal. Positive endnote: good performances, dennis quaid nailed it.

Happy Holidays 2024
Have never heard a collective gasp like the one that followed the director saying no one in the film was an actor, they were all scouted at their real professions (doctors! lawyers! an Arab student in Jerusalem) to play exactly that, while only ever knowing what their scenes were (not the full script). They acted better than I’ve ever seen. One unforgettable sequence takes place during a real ceremonial drill in Jerusalem that only happens twice a year. Incredibly brave and well done. Free Palestine.
