    Into the Wild

    ★★★★★

    Such a beautiful, spellbinding experience. Into the Wild is a truly profound, captivating work of art. I fucking laughed, I cried, I rejoiced. This movie made me go through a multitude of emotions while watching it, and lfucking love it.

    Emile Hirsch embodies Christopher McCandless, a kid who shows no regard for material possessions, who just wants to trek into the wild and be with nature. He even drops his name, adopting the immediately likable moniker, Alexander Supertramp. Is it…

    She Dies Tomorrow

    ★★★½

But in reality, we could just as easily die tomorrow. Amy Seimetz’s personal, existential truth She Dies Tomorrow hits on this universal dread. Though many have described her therapeutic indie as the perfect quarantine film, the hypnotic She Dies Tomorrow also grapples with monotony, obsession, depression, and all things ending.

Neeraj Ghaywan & Varun Grover's screenplay gracefully interweaves the two lives of Deepak and Devi whose are otherwise only connected by the divine City of Varanasi they live in. Beautiful background scores and…

    I didn't think I would ever find an Indian film that'd hit me hard emotionally. Then I got told to watch this. I can't say anything more than its Indian filmmaking at its finest.

    There are movies that keep you spellbound with their mind-bending visuals, script, and storytelling. Then there are some of them that challenge you on not in a condescending way but in an emphatic way. Swades belongs to the latter category. It asks you to reevaluate your…
