    A fun time!! Pretty light hearted movie for the subject matter. Particularly liked the Nasha character and was fairly emotionally invested in Mickey 17. Some might say it was kitschy/cliche but I kind of was in the mood for a sappy Kumbaya movie and this was exactly that. Plus I went to see it with friends; yay!!!

    Had to watch this for class and it was amazing!!!!! Plays with perspective and questions how narratives of history are constructed. What is the balance between testimony and evidence. Class discussed how Georges represents the French state and Major the Algerian people (and how the French hid narratives of violence against the colonized). Camera work was stellar, the blending of perspectives from the stalker and the viewer is cool

    Sabrina said this was a masterpiece, and I concur. It’s the first horror movie I’ve watched in full, without looking away. Horror is the perfect genre to convey the magnitude of intergenerational trauma, which is so often overlooked because it frequently manifests in interpersonal moments which appear banal. But what is commonplace can also be horrific. More than anything, this film struck me as a tragedy; each character is a victim, completely isolated, in their own right. Docked a star…
