  I Love You, I Don't 1976

  ★★ Watched 21 Mar 2025

  The loudest anal scenes you'll likely ever see.  That's what you get with no foreplay and no lube.

  Emilia Pérez 2024

  Watched 06 Mar 2025

  Choices were made. I will not rate this, but like the tagline says “there is no movie like Emilia Perez.” 

  In a time of many reboots and sequels, I respect how unique of a vision this was. Its awkward in a lot of ways, and I don't find it particularlly touching, but I do think it's worth watching. 
   
  “Penis to vagina” will stick in my head for years. IYKYK.

  aka Mr. Chow 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 27 Oct 2023

  Great immigrant story, fascinating life, well structured. You have art, cooking, communist revolutions, warhol, basquait, Fran Lebowitz- all
  here. There is so much else I learned that could not be included for time and various reasons, but they did great with a cohesive focus. Lots of amazing archival materials as well.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 Mar 2025

  Rare to see this kind of film anymore.  Solid performances all around, but especially from Culkin. All very human: complex, messy, sweet, annoying, frustrating, funny, and touching.
