Left Alone

To escape from society, head for the woods.

Falling in Space

Hopefully this means we didn’t fake the moon landing.

Crazy Rich Asians Review

“My first draft of this review started with a disclaimer saying that, whatever my opinions of Crazy Rich Asians may be, its all-Asian cast is worth celebrating as a landmark for representation. Then my editor sent me an article explaining how the movie’s depiction of Singapore is analogous to a depiction of America only featuring white people, and now I don’t know what to think. In the context of Hollywood’s shameful history of white actors playing Asian characters, this still feels like a step in the right direction, though it’s hard to forgive the ignorance of Singaporean racial diversity. This stuff is complicated and there are two sides to every issue. Anyway, Crazy Rich Asians is awful.”

Eighth Grade review

“Eighth Grade, a movie about adolescents, is like an adolescent: energetic, emotional, and not quite as interesting as it thinks it is.”

Sorry to Bother You review

“What the story lacks in cohesion and clarity, though, it makes up for in inventiveness and provocation. It seems intentionally on-the-nose that the protagonist’s name is “Cash Green,” as the film takes the inherent absurdity and selfishness of capitalism to the extreme.”

A review of You Were Never Really Here

Both squarely within and bushing the boundaries of Lynne Ramsey’s heralded artistries.

Isle of Dogs review

“In any case, it is left up to the viewer to not get too lost in the dazzling visual spectacle of the film, and be sure to consider that despite the immaculate attention to detail, some details might still have been rendered invisible.”

I Want You Flat on Your Back, And Then I Want You Strong Again: A Different Phantom Thread

“These are Alma’s and the film’s first words. A cynic will scoff, but no, give a serious thought to this idea. How many of us have the courage to dream – how many of us have the courage to dispense with cynicism and see our dreams come true?”

Something Like Plot

A review of an experimental film entitled The Hart of London. It’s avant-garde and philosophical, but never boring.

La La Land’s Nostalgia

“It follows a struggle we have all faced: if you love the past, how do you approach the future?”

by Jessica Nyquist on March 12, 2017March 11, 2017
