    Uncut Gems

    ★★★★½

    I needed a sitz bath after that.

    One of the most stressful films I’ve ever seen, Uncut Gems is a weirdly plausible NYC nightmare about an addict who can't help but gamble on his far-fetched fantasies—because what if, right?! 

    What ensues is a goddamn masterful butt-clencher.

  • Shoplifters

    Shoplifters

    ★★★★½

    Whether it’s money or love that binds this makeshift family, a connection is there. The characters of Shoplifters, each an outsider in their own right, find in each other what the rest of society has failed to provide. A family member’s words, actions, and expressions can oscillate between love and calculated self-preservation within the span of one scene. Such is the heartbreaking complexity of what it means to be family.
