The Annihilation of Fish 1999
The beauty of aging is acceptance.
Some copyright thing meant no one has heard of this sweet delight of a movie. Except of course my cineaste son.
All 3 characters commit to their roles and surprisingly funny dialog. I gave it a 5 because we all need hope right now.Translated from by -
I'm Still Here 2024
Beautiful and unfortunately timely.
Watching it dawn on a willfully naive housewife that she had better grow up and learn to navigate a bank account, and then an illegal regime.
Put down the soufflé, sister. Time to fight.

Past Lives 2023
This was gorgeous. They didn’t have to do much, the actors, and we felt it all. The shot from above of her rushing home to log on. Waiting for the screen to load right there with them. You don’t have to be an immigrant to understand the message here. My son and I disagree on the ending but I’m right because I am older and I have simply made more choices in life.

Anora 2024
Sean Baker does not disappoint. He cares for this young woman, it seems. Sure, he has her take off all her clothes and treat us to several long lap dances, and a living room twerk that shows off her fetching thigh tattoos, but he is rooting for her.We are rooting for her, too, though we know better. It made me think how much a girl has to give though. More than she should ever have to.
The Russian parents were not played deftly but everyone else was. The last scene was perfect and a credit to this beautiful young woman. I doubt she was paid enough.Translated from by
