Drawn to films that capture memory and its contradictions. May judge you (softly) for bad subtitles :)

  • A Real Pain

    A Real Pain 2024

    ★★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

    A Real Pain hits real deep—because if you exist thanks to the extraordinary survival of your ancestors, you inherit the weight too. Honest and raw, we’re all David and Benji, just figuring out how to keep moving. Kudos to Jesse for capturing that—and to Kieran, who delivers like only he can.

    Mickey 17 2025

    ★★★½ Watched 06 Mar 2025

    Mickey 17 will go down as a Bong Joon-Ho classic—a masterclass in balancing humor, depth, warmth, and fear. No matter why you watch, you leave with that same haunting feeling of being stuck.

    And Naomi Ackie ate. Mickey 18 could eat (me).

    ★★★★ Watched 27 Feb 2025

    Absolutely a fun watch —effortlessly deep yet light on its feet, like wisdom wrapped in a dance. I wonder if Whiskey (my black kitten) will one day sass life with grace the same way.
