  Devil in a Blue Dress 1995

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Feb 2025

  watched this in theaters and don cheadle got multiple applause lines. wouldn't have wanted it any other way. "my adopted son, jesús" an INDELIBLE line reading. can't really figure out if the weird tonal shifts are balanced genius or jarringly off but either way i had a great time. but my god i'd be so mad if i kept coming home to my nice house and other people were just there having broken into my house. that's MY house! made me SO anxious!

  ★★★ Watched 26 Dec 2024
