  Sometimes Always Never 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Jan 2023

  I was surprised to have never really heard of Carl Hunter before seeing this film and learned that the only other work he's done were shorts. Pretty incredibly well done for a first effort (and probably a long awaited moment in his career). Bill Nighy is also, as always a treat. Beautifully meandering and a slow burn that pays off quite well. Bravo.

  Peak Miyazaki. The perfect film contemplating imagination and wonder.

  Lady Bird 2017

  I feel that this is a genuinely lovely film. Saoirse mentioned in an interview that Greta Gerwig was really shooting to capture a photo album of meaningful moments, and to that I say she delivered with such elegance. Incredible performances and very profound highs and lows. Earnest. Eager. Youthful. So many things to love here; shit, this might be a new favorite.

  The Kissing Booth 3 2021

  ½ Added

  I didn't see that coming. Elle uses Noah as her own personal jungle gym and accidentally kills him. The rest is a psychological thriller where the detective (Lee) must find the killer and put them to justice. The question is: will the fated kissing booth draw Elle out of hiding?
