    MJ movie nights are back!!! Thought-provoking themes around mortality and the necessity of a finite life, valuing the lives of non-human creatures, and the like.

To watch one unfold hour by hour as the odds flip back and forth between the power hungry assholes and those trying to protect the…

    Favourite film of 2024 so far. Meditative and humble, soothing yet thought provoking, beautifully shot, elite soundtrack. Never have I been so protective of someone’s peace as I was, watching this sweet old gentleman (not unlike my father) move through the day and savour all of his small and simple pleasures.
