    Nickel Boys

    ★★★★★

    Nickel Boys is one of those rare occasions where a film has stuck with me not just for days or even weeks, but for months after having first witnessed it. When adapting a piece of literature of Pulitzer Prize acclaim, there is often a tendency to rely on the source material to do all of the heavy lifting, but where most would see a straight-forward screenplay, RaMell Ross sees an opportunity to breathe new life. Taking the experimentalism of his…

    I always rewatch this film whenever I’ve been feeling a bit shitty, and today was one of those days. Princess Mononoke is a very special film to me. It was the first Studio Ghibli film that I ever saw, and it’s one of their best ever made. The film itself is a joy to watch, the animation is incredible, the world building and all of the nature, the character designs, the dialogue but especially the score. These soft and serene sounds…

    A Coupla White Faggots Sitting Around Talking

    stumbled upon this the other day, and it became my introduction to Gary Indiana. over the past few days i’ve been reading up on his works, and his life, and just becoming deeply fascinated by the ways in which his words can deconstruct the fallacies of the famed NYC erotic life of the 80s. in a way, much like in his novels, this film is a brilliant time capsule of that period of time: young, gifted and unabashedly gay people…

    finally been able to watch this in IMAX (how it should be watched) and what a blast!! cannot believe it’s been over a year since I was walking out of the Everyman at 3am with the most overwhelmed grin on my face. I love it!! I feel like Villeneuve was aura-farming for half of the film though; there’s so many shots that I can think of and you probably can too that just look cold as fuck. I think he’s…

    Opus

    ★½

    A loosely-strapped together collection of scenes gesturing meekly at the dangers of celebrity-obsession and cult-like worship but which fails to deliver in almost every conceivable way. Takes an ungodly amount of time to get started and flatlines almost as soon as it does, with a frankly pseudo-intellectual ending that wants to be clever but has nothing of any real substance to say. Predictable in structure, but lacks any of the character depth, cinematography, or ingenuity of the long list of A24-produced…
