    Love Liza

    I really don’t know how to rate this movie. 

    This was a wild ride, from start to finish. The description is accurate, so I’m not sure why I was so surprised. 

    Love, Liza is a deep, ugly look at grief through the lens of a broken man. He starts huffing gasoline to dull the pain of his wife’s suicide, and in doing so, accidentally picks up a model plane hobby, to help cover up his newfound addiction. 

    Such a specific concept,…

    Anything that takes places in the Mediterranean automatically gets bonus points 😍

    What a crazy ride. Mr. Ripley is very talented, indeed.

    Creeper - ah man. 

    Let’s be honest - sci-fi is not my genre. I didn’t have the highest expectations going in, so imagine my surprise when I found out this was not just a sci-fi blockbuster, but an anti-space colonization, Trump satire. 

    I wasn’t particularly fond of the ending, it felt a little too “Everything is great, we are all happy and peace is restored. Kumbay” for me. I wish it felt more earned. I really did enjoy the rest.

    A little too real.
