Funny and exciting but overall just ok. Felt more like a Safdie movie than a Sean Baker one

Perfect Days 2023
Pretty irresistible look into a man’s life for a little while. Calming and meaningful. Lotta love for cassettes too.

The Match Factory Girl 1990
The first Aki Kaurismäki movie I've seen. A very visual and quiet movie, the kind of story that only works in this medium. Very dark and dry laughs throughout as we watch Iris struggle with love in her working class, Finnish life. I loved the shots of the machinery in the factory, as beautiful and efficient as the movie itself, with little time spent on anything superfluous. The tension and build up is brilliant and satisfying as well. Great flick and I can't wait to watch more Kaurismäki movies.

Smiley Face 2007
Smiley Face is easily the greatest stoner comedy and maybe the greatest comedy overall. Anna Faris is unbelievable in this movie, the pacing is brisk and each gag lands. It's ridiculous and fun and I'm impressed each time I watch it.
