  between this and ghostlight I have become a slut for movies about the transformative and restorative power of art.

  The Monkey 2025

  ★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  I think if this movie had fully committed to not taking itself seriously (it only mostly didn’t take itself seriously), it would’ve paid off. Some of this shit is hilarious. That blonde pale lady getting literally exploded by a shotgun? I was in stitches. Fuckin’ gold, goofy stuff. 

  But in the final ten minutes, it feels vaguely like it’s trying to say something profound about the randomness of existence and the inevitability of death. Keeping the monkey close and being aware…

  The Wild Robot 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Oct 2024 3

  DreamWorks is back and better than ever. Everyone should watch this movie. This is a great payoff for being inventive and telling fresh stories. 

  If you’ve recently buried a parent like I have— especially a mom— this movie is going to smack you around a little bit, but you should totally let it. Best animated feature I’ve seen in a long time. 

  I suspect this one will make it onto the list of “animated movies for everyone we’re all still watching twenty years later” lists.
