The Boy and the Heron 2023
as always with ghibli films, it is absolutely stunning both in its visual aspects and its storytelling. gorgeous animation ties together peaceful scenery with fast-paced action and keeps all of the charm ghibli is known for. beyond being a beautiful watch, the film is impactful and wonderfully handles complicated topics of grief/mourning, changing family dynamics, dilemmas, and acceptance. is it possible to say whether or not what happened in the tower is supposed to be reality? i don’t think it…

Isle of Dogs 2018
“i’m not a violent dog, i don’t know why i bite.” how dare you do this to me? this movie is just so… gah. i love how the characters were so simple yet so perfectly managed to represent so many different things and evoke so many emotions. the comparisons i could draw between this movie and real life… don’t even get me started. god the relationship between chief and atari… the childlike innocence among the dark themes of the movie. and the direction godddd the stop motion? amazing. each shot is so cool and so visually interesting. great movie.

Perfect Blue 1997
this movie is SO GOOD. so disturbing and so uncomfortable to watch. genuinely a disorienting experience and that’s exactly what it’s going for.

Your Name Engraved Herein 2020
so beautifully bittersweet. such an amazing depiction of many queer people’s reality. the shame and fear of internalized homophobia and the forced heteronormativity… so real and so painful. i love the open ending, it was a perfect fit for the movie and their relationship as a whole. i hope wherever life took them, they ended up happy.
