  Love & Basketball 2000

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  but what price might i pay
  to look out from window frames
  and find you there

  a picture just as i remembered

  in all my most distant memories
  the ghost of you lingers
  even when i might forget

  the details of
  your most common face

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  and if i were to die a thousand times more
  would you see me the same
  as the first?
  sit with me?
  as i traverse these undying narratives

  these roles to which i am cast
  bear so heavy in
  the memory of our flesh

  a thousand souls more
  cursed to single image

  no picture i could dream would be as real as

  
  you

  We Have Never Been Modern 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Dec 2023

  the euphoria of turning on a film you have heard absolutely nothing about and it turning out to be a banger.

  haunting, gorgeous. a reminder of the mistakes we make even when we aim to be better. the villains with nice smiles. humanity, resilient under the weight of capital.

  and that life doesn't really have definitive endings. learning to separate existence from the obfuscation of narrative.

  edit:

  if this is gonna be my most popular review, it's a little fucked up how obvious it is that i actually didn't have much to say. good movie tho.

  Nickel Boys 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 25 Feb 2025

  i only catch a glimpse of you so often
  in the reflected light of mirrored edge and surface.

  i am hanging by the thread that
  connects you to me.

  i don't know
  how to sit
  any closer
  to you
  than this.
