  Steamboat Bill, Jr. 1928

  ★★★★ Watched 31 May 2023

  Features one of the most ambitious screenplays of any Keaton film, tackling a deconstruction of masculinity, a Capulets-and-Montagues-style romance, and a study in class conflict, each individual theme powerfully synthesized by its breathtaking and deservedly iconic climactic sequence.

  College 1927

  ★★★ Watched 30 May 2023

  Feels sort of derivative of Keaton’s own work, but plenty of the gags are funny and it’s fascinating to see the seeds of ‘80s nerds vs. jocks comedies (most certainly including their regressive elements) being planted here.

  Pearl 2022

  Many movies have been colloquially dubbed “Joker For Women,” but this is the only one that actually earns the title. She’s a star. She’s a star, she’s a star, she’s a star. She is a big, bright, shining star.
