    ★★★★½

    The absolute peak of paranoia. Fittingly, every aspect of the sound (score, editing, design, silence) is pitch-perfect.

    Classically anarchic. My 5-year-old basically didn’t stop laughing for 85 minutes. Farmer Jim is an instant icon. The world is a better place with the Looney Tunes in it.

  • Clerks III

    Clerks III

    ★★★½

    While watching it, I felt like it was just a messy, sporadically funny, undeniably thoughtful curio that would only appeal to the biggest fans. As I’ve sat on it, I can’t shake how bold and sad it is as a meta-study of aging, loss, and legacy. Snoochie-boochies, indeed.

    ★★★★★

    It is not easy to successfully make a fantasy-biopic, but Jackson nails it with his visceral eye and personal tone. The true story of two young best friends whose relationship grows dark is a truly breathtaking breath of fresh air. The performances and script are funny, somber and disturbing, all the while managing to stay warm. Bold and brave, complex and horrifying, difficult and rewarding, Heavenly Creatures is cooler and angstier than a costume drama usually is.

    Here’s a shocker! Haneke makes a frigid cold mystery that is, while intriguing, too ambiguous and dry to really grasp onto. It’s not a disaster; there is some uniqueness to the plotting and some funny-ish characters, but nothing to stave off the boredom. In one scene, the main character is fighting off falling asleep while another character drones on. Sadly, I could relate.
