Carrie 1976
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Perhaps I'm just painfully out of the loop but I have never heard anyone mention the incredibly long, exceptionally misogynistic opening shower scene of this movie. The fuzzy and lurid voyeurism on the innocent and pristine teenage body is antithetical to the source text. A freak does not soap her body like that, on display, faux innocent, for the camera. It really fucking pissed me off. Oh wow, teen girls are beautiful sexual objects, but they're also totally monstrous -…

The UnRedacted 2022
This review was co-written with my girlfriend :)
Incredibly gripping and humanizing in the truest sense. This documentary does not take a position on jihad, on Guantanamo, or on the cultural differences between conservative Yemeni Muslim men and the average American as it follows former Al Qaeda members released after being held at Guantanamo Bay for 15 years through a state-funded Saudi Arabian rehabilitation program.
If you appreciated the bass drop of Act of Killing, you will not find that…

I don't think I've ever seen Lili Taylor before and I was entranced. I also am stunned by one of the sub-genres listed on…

Envy/Desire 2024

This review contains analysis that may be upsetting to trans people (regardless of which side of the issue you are on). Please consider not reading it if you feel you may be affected.
Envy/Desire is a brief parodic glance at a real life tension in the trans community that has been growing and evolving since the early 70s. Enraged reviewers (and commenters on social media) who dismiss it as Twitter brained nonsense with no basis in reality are only 1/3…

May December 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I've never seen a movie about grooming like this and I don't think I ever will again. I love actors acting about acting. Both journalists and biopic actors have the same kind of cannibalistic sheen to them. They want to eat your story up. To see this predator analogue played out carefully, tense parallel lines, made me absolutely sick. The culmination of the forty five second sex scene with the age regressed mid thirties forever twelve year old was one…
