Mickey 17 2025
A hilarious, heartfelt, and positively braindead movie for our catastrophic times. Like Bong's previous American outings, the so-simple-it's-stupid sci-fi satire is just set dressing.

The most fundamental questions asked in the most fantastical ways. I was enamored with the entire melancholy miracle, but since trying to sum up this esoterica feels like writing CliffsNotes for a poem, I'm just gonna highlight three of the most affecting things I saw through the looking glass.
Mahito's Scar
I've never lost a parent, but I have wanted to hurt myself seriously enough that the pain in my body would match the pain in my mind. To gouge…Translated from by
