A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night 2014
pinnacle of feminist cinema. being a young woman is exhausting because it entails wishing the absolute worst for any man that takes advantage of and abuses women in vulnerable positions. being a young woman is harassing little boys on the street because you resent them for their innocence, knowing they ultimately will become the type of man you hate the most. being a young woman is having intrinsic empathy for other woman out on the street, even when they’re keying…

Saltburn 2023
this was an absolute delight to watch, but is admittedly to be treated as the tumblr user equivalent of marvel movies and nothing more—which will absolutely infuriate a big chunk of this film’s futile cult. yes, the shock value provides mindless entertainment, but saltburn pretty convincingly disguises itself as something more than that. there is a lot of aspirational style, but the class critique, or as some argued, lack thereof, is nevertheless lukewarm and vapid.
would unironically work better as…
