The Pod Generation 2023
Might have made an amusing short. But the whimsy, high concept, and blunt attempts at satire fell flat for me. Art direction cries "look at me" too and tries to make the same "don't drop the egg" joke too many times. This is the Tamagotchi movie!

You Hurt My Feelings 2023
I love Nicole Holofcener’s films. Reliably sharp and very funny writing. Flawed but lovable characters.

Max Richter's Sleep 2019
Stunning. Poetically explores so many aspects of the creative process while also being an incredible love story.

Sole 2019
A long slow burn, but the actors faces do everything here. Two orphans start thinking of themselves as parents, with possible redemption to follow, but the structures of power and wealth are too much for them. Left me a weeping mess. Spare filmmaking that builds in emotional power. Sure, the beginning is slow and the characters start out rather unsympathetic, but let the filmmaker take you on an emotional journey.
