First Cow 2019
the score for first cow is quite minimal, but i love how the main times it’s used, it’s to introduce cookie out in the wild with a melody that perfectly suits him, and then it reappears for him whenever he is alone. it’s like his guide, or a little expression of the goodness he carries around. similarly, a new theme is introduced when we first see the cow coming to the shore. equally tender, but somehow more certain, like it’s…

Daddy Longlegs 2009
ronald bronstein is so good that seconds after he makes bad decision #134, i immediately forgive him & think he’s a good father simply bc he gives one of his sons a piggyback ride

I Am Easy to Find 2019
so, i go back to school tomorrow. it’s the beginning of my final year. in a couple of weeks i turn eighteen. everything is changing, and growing feels like shrinking; life is pressing tighter on my skin. over the past month or so, death is all i’ve been able to think about. i’m seventeen, and i can already feel the world slipping through my fingers. i am not ready for all of this - i feel as if i was…

Daddy Longlegs 2009
by far the safdies softest film. was shamelessly searching for the documentary on the brothers on the criterion channel so i could watch it for the third time, and to my surprise, this lovely film was added back to their catalog!!

Marriage Story 2019
maybe i stan noah & greta after all!!
you can’t help but see greta’s voice seeping into noah’s work. or maybe it’s the way their work has a certain language that they’ve crafted together. like their own little universe. like charlie & nicole making eye contact across the bar, sharing a moment, even when things are falling apart between them. because love is about finding that space, that connection, even in a room full of people. or charlie singing the same sondheim… -

Big 1988
this is a film that feels so intertwined with my childhood, and it’s always nice to revisit it & see that its charm holds up (even if some other aspects of it don’t)
recently though, i haven’t been able to think about this film without simultaneously thinking about a quote from my favorite book, too much and not the mood, written by the remarkable durga chew-bose. her writing is very cinematic, and i highly recommend her to you all!!
