    To the Wonder

    In what makes Malick himself so freely intelligent, intellectualizing any of Malick’s work seems to miss the point.

    ★★★★½

    A plot that seems ludicrous in real life, yet subtle in how it travels to its end. A very convincing debut.

    Challengers

    Thank God we are getting back to widely distributing bleeding-edge, legend-level movies like Challengers. This is the best standalone movie I’ve seen in years. Luca is becoming one of my favorite directors.
