  Nymphomaniac 2014

  ★★★★★ Watched 09 Sep 2024 2

  [Volume I & II. Director’s Cut.]

  Nymphomaniac is a movie primarily about sex, exploring all it’s assets through the stories of a hopelessly addicted Joe. 

  There’s nothing dirtier yet more human than the act of sex, the need for it, the absolutely disgusting things some people will do for it, or even worse, the truly horrific acts someone will commit if they don’t have it. It’s animalistic, yet it’s considered a need, the concept of a sexual liberation is so shameless…

  The Piano Teacher 2001

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 05 Mar 2024 4

  Elfriede Jelinek’s book begins with the lines:

  “Erika Kohut, bursts like a whirlwind into the apartment she shares with her mother. Mama likes calling Erika her little whirlwind, for the child can be an absolute speed demon. She is trying to escape her mother.”
  
  Jelinek has won an incomparable amount of praise and recognition for the way she writes but it’s so underwhelming that no one ever seems to want to talk about it enough.

  The Substance 2024

  ★★ Watched 12 Oct 2024

  [EDIT: I just recently found out Coralie Fargeat is a disgusting zionist, and is pretty loud about it. So it’s safe to say my disdain towards this movie has grown bigger]

  Coralie Fargeat, style over substance doesn’t work for a movie which is titled THE SUBSTANCE. 

  The Substance is a movie whose plot tries really hard to drive one singular point to the ground: Once a woman grows old, she becomes “replaceable” by a society led by spectacles, so beauty…

  Poor Things 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 28 Jan 2024

  In full honesty, "Poor Things" is surprisingly the movie I've felt most represents my experience with girlhood and dealing with my femininity.

  I've always had such a complicated relationship with womanhood in general. I've always felt weird for not fitting in with what everyone told me it was. Hyper-femininity was something I found comfort with, yet I wasn't very comfortable in it.

  Yet everything I've seen Bella Baxter go through—her emotions and her overwhelming curiosity, her being disadvantaged by her…
