    Heaven Knows What

    ★★★★

    The Safdie brothers combine their intense and anxiety inducing style with a gritty and poignant story about a young woman struggling with drug addiction, toxic relationships with her boyfriend, and poverty. I enjoyed the electronic music playing at times highlighting the intense and crazy moments in the film.  I also really like how this film shows the everyday lives of drug addicts in the streets of New York City, and Harley is a really well written, troubled, and complex character who you feel for. All of the act is also pretty great too. Overall, it’s a very dark, upsetting, bleak, and intense film.

    It’s a very bittersweet and emotional slice of life film that explores both adults and children dealing with poverty. While this film is very sad and heartbreaking, it’s still pretty optimistic and hopeful at times. Where despite the fact that Moonee is growing up in poverty and has a mother who is a sex worker and a bit irresponsible, she is still able to have fun and have good times with her friends and Haley. One thing I really liked…

    ★★★★½

    This film is even cooler on rewatch. It’s a very complex film that explores time travel, free will, and  the nature of reality, while being a very dark  coming of age film and character study about loneliness, existentialism, mental health, and the struggles of adolescence. Donnie Darko is a very well written protagonist with a lot of depth and relatable struggles, and Jake Gyllenhall plays him so well. The cinematography is also really great. Overall, this is still a very dark, surreal, and iconic film.

    This movie is just fucking insane. It’s weird, obscene, freaky, bloody, gross, disgusting, and hilariously disturbing. The editing is crazy. The cinematography is great. The extreme closeups shots really adds to the intensity of this movie. As well as the very crazy and loud music that plays. There are also many freakish and shocking body horror moments in this movie that are just so disgusting to watch. I really like the themes of doubles with Demi Moore’s character and Margaret…
