Akira 1988
“Amoebas don't build houses and bridges, they only eat.”
It wouldn't surprise me to find out Akira is the movie that has been on my radar for the longest amount of time without me actually watching it. It has lived in my head as something I should see for near seven or so years until I finally decided to bite the bullet tonight. I’m so glad I waited, because young me might have actually never slept again.
The 80’s into…

Winter Light 1963
“Nothing can save you. You’ll hate yourself to death.”
It’s interesting how I tend to find myself attracted to films about faith, considering how I have been vehemently anti-religion for as long as I can remember. My grandparents were Catholic, their children attended church, and I, as a very young child, followed suit. I have no memories of this. For as far back as I can remember, the majority of my experience with religion came almost exclusively from my grandfather.…

Kiki's Delivery Service 1989
“If I lose my magic, that means I've lost absolutely everything.”
Loved every second of this. One of those movies that makes me want to shake the hands of those behind it. An anthem to girlhood and learning how to be yourself. I’m slowly discovering that my favorite Ghibli’s are those which have almost no stakes and very little plot. The slice of life-y ones always manage to make me feel more than anything else, and I love how they…

Barking Dogs Never Bite 2000
“Is that your dog?”
Oh, the things I will do for you, Bong Joon-ho. There aren’t many acts in movies that I just cannot do but animal (and specifically dog) violence is a big no-go. I can handle a little bit if it’s a one-and-done type of thing or cartoony violence but the first 8 minutes of Barking Dogs Never Bite consists of a guy (who you know nothing about) trying to kill a dog that he thinks is being…

I Saw the TV Glow 2024
It felt like I was looking into a mirror, watching my own life play out on screen, completely unreal and annihilated me immediately. I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the gut in the best way possible. This one is going to crack a lot of eggshells, and I wish them all the best.

Dune: Part Two 2024
“May thy knife chip and shatter.”
I just want to say, before I start gushing about this movie, that the story is excellent. A sprawling, truly epic saga that is a masterclass of science fiction. It aims to discuss so many things and says them all boldly, without taking attention away from the core plot. So many parts of the narrative, visuals, and just about everything else are off the charts. This is the new ceiling. This is our generation's…
