    Black Bag

    ★★★½

    this is the kind of movie I always say I wish they still made more of, so I can’t really complain. I love its style, but that style is very clearly obscuring a lack of substance. was hoping for more…I feel like Blanchett was kind of wasted here.

    Mickey 17

    ★★★½

    not every swing in this connected for me, but I deeply love how many swings it took in a media landscape full of thematically and aesthetically sanitized nonsense. may not make its return at the box office but the merch revenue stream is RIPE w those creeper plushies just waiting to be made. 

    this era of whatever mark ruffalo is doing here and in poor things - here for it.

    If you want to be told the same exact thing in only slightly different ways for 90 minutes, by all means, watch this documentary. Every time they made a point (sugar is bad!) they wanted it to seem relevatory, which only further emphasized the lack of nuance.

    ★½

    Directionless documentary that unsuccessfully tries to weave multiple disparate threads. Why would we care about this journalist? This is also an extremely uneven depiction of Billie herself: why do we learn literally nothing about her music but we get a play-by-play on her drug use? Overall, just frustrating.
