I just wish it was more. Because of the short run time the pacing is a bit off, and it just kinda abruptly ends. I would have loved to seen more of their relationship, and just story generally, developed - just overall I think it would have been stronger as maybe a feature length.

A Real Pain 2024
I don’t know if I can fully express how I feel about this film. I’m also third generation from Jewish immigrants, and just that, the feelings of returning back to a place that is important to you and you’re connected to, but also not really at all, of the weight of generations before you and the expectations and sometimes pain that carries… it all deeply resonated with me. Plus the dynamic they had, cousins that used to be a lot closer- so much of this just felt like my own family.

Nocturnal Animals 2016
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
They really gave Amy Adams nothing to do in this movie. The book being some petty little analogy for her getting an abortion was stupid, but not as stupid as just the whole ending in general.
Michael Shannon and Aaron Taylor-Johnson were great, though - real stand out performances, and at least the cinematography was pretty good.
