Friendsgiving 2020
me: seeking a comedy about a lesbian and a straight woman who are best friends that isn’t terrible
you: not Friendsgiving (2020) (or Life Partners)Real review: it’s actually amazing that a movie could be over 50% exposition but here we are! I love Kat dennings but it did feel like they told her this movie was being animated and she didn’t have to move her face at all while she acted. 2 stars because despite it being a fairly certifiable mess, I did laugh a few times.

It's What's Inside 2024
it’s a like they put a Netflix movie in an A24 movies body
(Real review: the photo collage sequences were really cool but ultimately I feel like this movie had aspirations of being something more interesting than it was. It felt like it walked right up to making statements about beauty standards or about relationships and why people settle and then just… didn’t say anything at all in favor of a “big twist” ending. I had some fun, but overall kind of a letdown.)

Anatomy of a Fall 2023
Single-handedly making the case for The Academy to add Oscars for both child and canine actors.
(Real review: poignant, unsettling, emotional. A fascinating expansion on the concepts that anyone who’s ever been in a complicated relationship knows to be true: what two people think and what reality is are always different things. 4 1/2 bc I hated the repeated goofy camera zoom.)

Killers of the Flower Moon 2023
Lily Gladstone deserves the Oscar that she’s going to get for this film, but I guess that’s not a particularly unique opinion.
(Review: Incredibly well acted, beautifully shot, profoundly horrifying. I’m glad that Marty had the guts to take this story on and bring it to the masses.
To me, the script and overall length are where this film suffers a little. We spend a lot of time with a lot of white men well after we have already understood…
