  Watched 24 Oct 2024

  film that pissed me off so much it stopped all my letterboxd progress because i couldn't phrase all of my thoughts in the review properly. luckily i recently read Romance Labor: on Sean Baker’s Anora, a well-written, clear-eyed review which encapsulates all of my critiques as well as considering issues i couldn't even parse in my own viewing.
