    ★★★★

    A really touching love story. Fantastic work from Jones and Redgrave.

    Haven’t seen a supporting performance like Hank’s or Giacomo’s since Harvey in Harvey.

    Jeez, no wonder feminist film professors go nuts over this.

    (Amidst everything else, insane that the good daughter is a total tomboy.)

    The Symbol of the Unconquered

    Partial and in poor shape, yet still powerful and compelling. The audience at my screening was clearly into it. Really stinks that the climax has been lost/censored.

    Special shoutout to the Alvin Cobb, Jr. Trio for providing an excellent live score

    This lived up to the hype. 

    The whole thing is as good as they say it is, especially Mikey Madison’s performance.

    Saw it at a theatre that serves alcohol and some guy in my row spilled his drink (at an early afternoon showing), so most of the movie smelled like booze, which I guess was appropriate.
