Perfect Days

2023

★★★★½ Liked 19

Words cannot describe how perfect the timing of this film is. Two hours of my life I can only say “thank you” for. This film serves as a reminder that there is great value in life. There’s a lot to appreciate and there’s so much irable beauty in everyday life.

Anatomy of a Fall

2023

★★★★ 9

One of the more emotionally impactful and hard-hitting courtroom dramas I’ve seen in quite some time. Sandra Hüller was an absolute force and probably conveyed a range of emotion better than any lead actress has all year. Excluding Oppenheimer (because I don’t necessarily see it as a “traditional” courtroom drama), not since The Trial of the Chicago 7 has a courtroom drama engrossed me the way Anatomy of A Fall did. An in-depth and overly personal dissection of emotion, marriage,…

Hit Man

Not that we don’t already, but we need to hold Richard Linklater’s name in the highest esteem. His expanding filmography is nothing short of spectacular. He has this raw talent and an eye for the empathetic and personal that breeds this involuntary addictive response to his projects, making his films so desirable and so easily lovable

I have so many thoughts rummaging through my head right now... borderline assaulting me. My downfall on Letterboxd is writing reviews almost immediately after…

All of Us Strangers

2023

★★★½ 7

The “Paul Mescal is a vulnerable, lonely, sad man” Cinematic Universe continues to expand. 

This was a tragic delight. Subtle, yet heartbreaking and emotionally devastating. A very tame narrative but also quite an impactful portrait of grief and loneliness.

The Boy and the Heron

2023

★★★½ 8

A brilliant conclusion to the fantastical and awe-inspiring filmography of the great Hayao Miyazaki. While not his best, The Boy and the Heron beautifully serves its purpose well as the “one last dance” film in Miyazaki’s career. A heartwarming and infectious film. An ode to his career. Myazaki doing what he does best… taking us to unbelievable worlds with lovable characters and unique stories of love and acceptance.

Poor Things

2023

★★★★ 19

A quirky display of sincere and sexual filmmaking. An important exploration of ideals and the values of life and independence. Yorgos Lanthimos is at his most audacious here and delivers a one of a kind experience that will absolutely dazzle. Poor Things is a technical feast. It’s an ode to creativity and a stunning exhibit of masterful direction. There’s so much filmmaking exploration here. Lanthimos is utilizing camera-work techniques, color schemes, and editing decisions that we’ve never seen him play…

May December

2023

★★★ 6

A subtle, delightfully melodramatic piece that embraces its absurdity in a rather profound, thoughtful, and oddly comedic manner.
