    I'm sure none of you doubted this to be true... but I'm happy to confirm that the movie where Juliette Lewis swaps bodies with a chair has more to say about the transgender experience and the human condition than Emilia Pérez. And manages to offer it through decent music, with actors who understand the assignment (especially Melanie Griffith who serves as our tour guide narrator), and through the meticulous lens of bold visionary like Amanda Kramer.

    Liam Gallagher: As It Was

    ★★★

    Take a shot every time the phrase 'ya know what I mean' falls out of Liam's mouth.

    If Showgirls was our culture’s collective whoopsidaisy of the 90s—by that, I mean the film critics and audiences both maligned only to realize how wrong they were years later—then Jonathan Glazer’s Birth is that of the Aughts. No film this daring, surprising, and brilliant should ever have a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s easily in Nicole Kidman’s top 2 best performances... and Lauren Bacall plays her mother!
