Somewhere along the line I just seemed to stop watching movies, and it bums me out. So, trying to make up for lost time.

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

    ★★★★★

    As close to a perfect movie as you could ask for.

    Stunning art direction – check.
    (You could literally pause it anywhere, print it, and frame it)
    Thrilling, frenetic action – check.
    Idiosyncratic style – check.
    Emotional stakes – check.

    Loved every moment of it.

    Very smol, but had great atmosphere. It'd be neat to see Kylie explore this idea in more depth in a future project perhaps.

    The Weekend Away

    ★★★

    It didn’t reinvent the wheel, but it was fun enough. My boyfriend guessed the twist pretty early on, and none of the characters besides Beth were given much space to develop beyond their basic service of the plot.

    Leighton Meester was quite likable and compelling, and really carried the whole thing.

    American Murder: Gabby Petito

    It doesn't feel right to rate this.

    I appreciated that it did spend some time talking about how missing women of color rarely get this kind of attention, even if it did feel a bit tacked on.
