Turin Mata

Brief to a fault, my tastes are as poor as they are arbitrary, and I am completely ignorant on film theory.
These ratings are meaningless.

    The Trace of Your Lips

    ★★★★

    The premise is ridiculous, and yet there's so much care and deliberation to be found. Not a single movement is wasted. Hernandez continues to amaze me by making both the sexiest and warmest sex scenes in the industry.

    All of Us Strangers

    ★★★½

    The genuine conversations of gay loneliness and upbringing hit very close to home.
    Mescal and Scott are absolutely adorable with their sad puppy eyes.
    It does feel a bit too emotionally manipulative for its own good at the end, though.

    All the gay guys at the theater were crying!

    Cuando el demonio dijo "sueltame o te mato pendejo" I felt that.

    This one is just cozy.
    Working class characters with big dreams, problems as big as their dreams, and rich, relatable inner lives.
    Sure, it's kind of predictable, but that doesn't really detract from it. A low stakes character driven little story is what we all need from time to time. That it feels so genuine certainly adds to the experience.
