  Licorice Pizza 2021

  ★★★ Watched 26 Nov 2021

  Sorry everyone. Sharpen your pitchforks.

  There is a lot to love in this but I just could not get on board with the premise that I should be rooting for a 25 year old and a 15 year old to fall in love - an age gap that is explicitly called out repeatedly throughout the movie. And when you fail to emotionally invest in that premise, the movie becomes an overly-long slog.

  Call Me by Your Name 2017

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 10 Jan 2018

  Well I just watched this for the third time and I'm happy to report that I cried more than the first time but less than the second time!!

  For realsies though -- each time I watch it I am more impressed with Armie Hammer and Michael Stuhlbarg's performances.
