Interstellar 2014

★★★★½ Rewatched 08 Dec 2024

crazy to think i got to celebrate the ten year anniversary of one of the most iconic science fiction films this century in the exact IMAX theater where i saw it for the first time at fifteen.
it gets lost in the sauce a bit during the final third, but interstellar is such a humanist movie, and it was an emotionally cathartic experience getting to relive Nolan’s epic and all its moments of tenderness, humanity, and raw, painful devastation on…

Manchester by the Sea 2016

★★★★★ Watched 28 Dec 2016

Amidst the utter shittiness 2016 has brought us, through the trials and tribulations of the modern world, Kenneth Lonergan has so delicately brought us Manchester by the Sea.
A film so gutting, raw, brutal, powerful, compassionate, hilarious, and quietly observant, it rips apart your spirits and so tenderly lifts them back up again.
Casey Affleck is winning that Oscar, absolutely no question about it.

So utterly, completely incredible.
Lonergan, this was everything that Margaret should have been.
My favorite of 2016? Currently undecided.
5/5
