★★★★★ Watched

A devastating portrayal of grief and the variety of the human condition in response to loss. Buckley’s performance is raw, authentic, poignant - contrasted perfectly by a solemn and broken performance from Mescal.

One Battle After Another
★★★★★ Watched

Stupendous. Hilarious? Heartfelt. Give PTA his Oscar finally. The final act is some of my favorite work of his - and one of my favorite sequences from this decade.

Dicaprio’s best (and funniest) performance since WOWS - and a diverse array of talent from Taylor, del Toro, and Infiniti - all evoking further humor and poignancy.

For average moviegoers - it’s long and the chaotic/rapid storytelling may phase viewers at first, but it’s worth it full circle!

★★★★★ Liked Watched

May December was incredible. One of my favorites this year. It’s quirky and campy - and Natalie Portman is phenomenal. Charles Melton is the stand out performance - I’ve never seen someone play an infantilized and disillusioned character on screen with such deft. Oscars incoming!
