    Saturday Night

    ★★★★

    it was a little weird that this was more witty than funny. passable acting, although rachel sennot was great. it was at its best showing the chaos, with some well orchestrated tracking shots. they weren't too precious with it, and they left some pretty big names looking like assholes, which was fun.

    The Seed of the Sacred Fig

    ★★★★

    this was really well done. excellent acting. the family feels realistic. they take time with the story, but the run time is justified. the use of real protest footage interspersed was very effective. and they kept things grounded when they could have easily let it cross over into melodrama.

    this was a lot of fun. and they managed to keep it light, even when covering a ton of ground thematically. bong joon-ho has a painfully accurate vision of america - even in space. solid acting. some hilarious bits. and it scratches the sci fi itch while getting some good points across.

    Let's Start a Cult

    ★★★★

    the jokes really carry this thing through. the main actors are passable, some side characters are a little shaky. and you can feel the budget. but they're able to do some good things with the premise. and above all, it's hilarious, and they keep the focus on that. bonus if you have a sick fascination with cults like I do. and joe pera was there.
