  Sometimes Always Never 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 01 Mar 2021

  3 stars for a pretty good, uniquely done film. I was caught off guard a few times. Laughed out loud more than a few times. Both sharp and dumb wit. Loved the scrabble aspect

  Bonus star for there being enough Bill Nighy to go around! He is excellent as always

  The Metropolitan Opera: Eurydice 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Dec 2021

  This bio for this could be way kinder to the brilliance of Sarah Ruhl which really makes this

  The met is so fucking concerned with Orpheus Orpheus Orpheus. Sexist as fuck. The damn thing is called Eurydice for a fucking reason. Aucoin’s brilliant mind brings us this unique angle on the story? How about Sarah Ruhl wrote a bomb play first? Anyway.

  Mary Zimmerman is a treasure protect that woman’s brain at all costs. Never have I seen staging so beautiful. So excellently perfectly crafted blocking. Ugh amazing.

  I do not like opera often, but this was pretty good.
