    Memoir of a Snail

    ★★★★½

    We have been absolutely FED with animated films this year. One of the best of the year and I am wrecked writing this through my tears. Normally, I’d say this much narration and voice over would be a cop out but the way that Sarah Snook delivers such an emotionally raw performance while still balancing some comedy really fits the entire aesthetic.

    And the animation style… I’m awestruck. I am not an expert on animation by any means but I…

    Angelina Jolie is magnetic and unbelievable in Pablo Larraín’s most recent biopic of famous and tortured women. The wonders of being on ludes, beautiful, skinny, talented, and delusional. The singing is stunning, for Angelina Jolie to train to sing like THIS but also not be annoying about it at the same way?! For that alone, she deserves an Oscar.

    As was Spencer, the main takeaway of the film is the titular character. Although beautiful to look at, lacks more of…

    I Saw the TV Glow

    ★★★

    I really appreciated the themes and the concept of the film and I can admit there are some really powerful segments of dialogue but overall, I was not as high on the execution as most. 

    Unfortunately, I missed this one while it was in theatres so perhaps my home viewing skewed it for me but I did find myself checking the run time on it multiple times. The slower pacing in the beginning led my mind to wander and didn’t allow for me to be fully invested in the rest of the film. However, the ending is great, incredibly powerful.

    Civil War

    ★★★★

    Alex Garland made a great decision to frame this around journalists while also giving us Cailee Spaeny as an audience proxy into what is happening in this America. I’m a little perplexed by some of the discourse around Civil War, saying that it had no POV and that we don’t know what the sides are fighting for. There’s the conversation between Lee and Joel about what he’d ask the president if he had the chance and you can tell which…

    ★★★½

    I hadn’t heard of To Leslie until 5 days ago when every actor in Hollywood not up for awards this year told me to go watch it. What a crazy last minute grass roots (still out for debate on this part) campaign effort. Andrea Riseborough really is very good and gives quite an emotional performance. Also she’s British!!! 

    The story is interesting in itself, a true story about a Texas woman who won the lottery and 6 years later is…
