  No Other Land 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2025

  I don’t know that it’s possible to watch enough firsthand footage of Israeli soldiers and settlers tormenting, bulldozing, and shooting peaceful Palestinian people that I could ever feel “desensitized” to the violence. But there IS something about sitting down in a quiet theater and giving my full uninterrupted attention to the horror, and the pure sanctity of human life that floods through all the cracks, that is fundamentally different than numbed out scrolling on social media. I am grateful to Basel and everyone documenting and demanding our attention. Go pay to see this one.

  Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 23 Jan 2024 1

  I saw this live in New York with my two best friends and Kate Berlant was in the audience that night supporting her best friend and it all just felt like church.

  I would say someone needs to get this gal a wireless mic, but perhaps the wire of the mic is the teeth of the blowjob.

  I LOVE THE CHEESY 1980s SOAP OPERA PIANO. This is the kind of scary movie for me. Perfect ending.
