so much to love here but the Depp/Landau dynamic is kind of like Burton's take on Harold and Maude, all wrapped in a very certain flavor of tenderness and realism. the definitive standard for biopics of creative figures. P.S. shoutout Musso and Frank

Moonlight 2016
there are at least 5 perfect performances in this. the score might be better described by physical gestures than words - it's that evocative. and the story is so tender without ever sacrificing its reality, so transcendent without sacrificing its specificity. for this film to exist alone is a miracle. pairs extremely well with a good cry on the walk home.
