A Woman Under the Influence 1974
A magnetic film that keeps you present throughout the whole experience. The shots are intimate, the acting is honest, and the writing is subtle. Nothing will take you away from being right there with them.
Watching a movie that depicts a familial and cultural response to mental health, hits close too home, even for a movie that came out in the 70s. It just goes to show how complacency for normalcy and cultural stability is enough to funnel the deepest of love into blindness. Trauma is timeless

The Substance 2024
Depressing, absurd, violent. Monster film? The Substance holds nothing back, hammers the point home, but does not let you go until they say it’s time to go.

Affliction 1997
Set in a wonderfully shot 90s New Hampshire winter, Nick Nolte presents a poignant portrayal of masculinity: a soft and apologetic man scarred by generational trauma. What’s significant about Nolte’s character is that his sincere desire for a stable, love-filled life is no match for an unexamined traumatic past, especially with an abusive father still alive. When coupled with a murder case, a toxic past will drive a man to double-down on his delusions rather than seek help. Choosing suspicion over introspection, man will always fail.

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky 1991
We are all prisoners under capitalism, and it’s a steep and bloody, if not absurdly gory, road to freedom
