  Babygirl 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Dec 2024

  In which Nicole Kidman is so turned on by a role again that she orgasms several times playing it; The feeling is mutual watching it.

  What a delight. But why is my cheek wet? is there a leak in the roof?

  Join or Die 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 21 Jan 2025

  Have been trying to avoid politics but you know, the world is what the world is. So, I probably needed this mix of clear-eyed reality with future-optimism (if you're willing to work for it) today, given the state of the nation.

  still processing -- second viewing necessary. Probably won't be a more thrilling acting moment this year than Natalie Portman as Elizabeth doing Julianne Moore as Gracie in a love letter monologue direct to mirror/camera/teenage lover.

  Benedetta 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Sep 2021

  What a surprising treat. Did not expect it to be "fun" but shouldn't have doubted Verhoeven as an entertainer along with his mastery. 131 minutes flies by with wicked performances, great music, camp hallucinations and convincing period ignorance. After "Madeleine Collins" at Venice and this, totally game for whatever Virginie Efira stars in next.
