  All Quiet on the Western Front 2022

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 02 Mar 2023

  A second time through, this still blew me away. This English teacher is a sucker for the irony this heavily leans into in it's final few scenes.

  The Sea Beast 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 28 Feb 2023

  A bit overstuffed, but I liked some of the larger thematic components.

  Women Talking 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Jan 2023

  "A work of Female Imagination" as the opening title card reads, WOMEN TALKING works to present this scenario of hope, where these women get their own agency to choose what comes next for them after repeated assault within their community. I can't get some of these minimal shots stuck out of my head. This one will hang with me for a long while.

  Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris 2022

  ★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2023

  Upbeat, kind, and warm. Predictable, but Manville's energy and spirit makes this a worthwhile watch.
