  Psychosynthesis 2020

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Jul 2020

  Psychosynthesis definitely has vibes from Persona, Three Colors: Blue and even Mulholland Drive but it also felt unique. It was nice having heard Noam talk about this on his podcast and/or write about it in his newsletter and then see it come to full fruition. Indie cinema at its best! Beautiful cinematography and eerie sound design and music. And the lead was spot on. The pacing has a slow burn but each frame is oozing with intrigue and bewilderment. Highly recommend!

  Downsizing 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 28 Sep 2017

  Really fun and heartwarming. The first 1/3 is all that's really been in the trailers so far and the part that felt most like an Alexander Payne film. But then the rest was completely different and felt pretty magical. Loved Hong Chau- Lovable, funny, complex, maybe a bit over the top but so caring. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

  See You Up There 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Sep 2017

  Beautiful. The cinematography was like hand painted film- more monotone at the start then got more colorful as the film progressed. It felt like old classic cinema but with a modern edge.

  Gilbert 2017

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 Sep 2017

  Great! Loved it. Funny, heartfelt and just superbly crafted. Plus it was awesome to see Gilbert Gottfried do some jokes before and after the screening. He's a funny man and seems so tickled all the time.
