I Saw the TV Glow 2024
I was impressed and moved by Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow. Maybe not for everyone, it's an allegorical horror movie, impeccably planned and lit and shot. The Frutopia vending machine and fish tank-as-practical-lighting. The arcade sequence, for which, as Holden Seidlitz writes in The New Yorker, "The production-design team pushed the lighting and colors almost too far, creating a suffocating environment. The cinematographer, Eric Yue, compared the aesthetic premise to 'eating too much candy': the sweetness of the surroundings quickly becomes nauseating. He had to step out to the parking lot between shots to stave off a migraine."

My First Film 2024
If you're a woman, or a filmmaker, or a woman filmmaker, I suspect you will relate to/cringe at/relish Zia Anger's My First Film. Most compelling new movie I've seen in a while.
