  Poor Things 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 16 Dec 2023

  oh how i love being a woman!

  The coming of age film of ALL coming of age films EVER. stunning, in every single area -- costuming, location, cinematography, set design, writing, character development, acting (good god!), humor!

  what a feat of a film... i simply cannot believe something like this exists in the world right now; it is astounding and wonderful and so so soooo refreshing. my eyes haven't been so effortlessly peeled trying to take in every single frame on the screen in such a long time.

  Past Lives 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 06 Jun 2023

  casting, directing, and acting are on another level here. this is *absolutely* the work of a former playwright and theater director.

  another film where i felt the asianness wasn't pushed upon the story but was an innate part of it. the work of someone who has lived it, not someone trying to reproduce something false. universal human shit.

  thank you, celine song
