    Assault on Precinct 13

    ★★★★

    Not sure exactly when during Covid I watched this, but it stuck out to me as a super innovative gritty action classic, with an amazing soundtrack. The ice cream van scene is remarkable.

  • Anora

    Anora

    ★★★★½

    Beautifully done- deftly moved between wacky and funny and devastating. Mikey Madison was exceptional; Anora felt lived-in and incredibly relatable. I also thought the oligarch son was excellent- it was so easy to see how you could get caught in his lavish orbit and buy into a false promise.

    Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

    ★★★★★

    A heartbreaking and sometimes extremely difficult to watch horror masterpiece about male exploitation and the nature of evil. Way exceeded my expectations. What a tragedy it is to lose someone as visionary as David Lynch, whose sensitivity and ability to see beyond this plain may never be matched.

  • Hard Truths

    Hard Truths

    ★★★★

    Tough, beautiful, occasionally funny. Very thought-provoking, as Mike Leigh said in the Q&A afterwards- ‘we’ve done our work, now it’s over to you’. Marianne Jean-Baptiste’s performance was incredible.
