  • Shithouse

    Shithouse

    ★★★

    This is so melancholy and authentic and raw. Looking forward to seeing more from Cooper Raiff. Reminds me of Linklater in that it feels like an anti-nostalgia depiction of college. This feels so genuinely special, I’m crying ok

    ★★★★

    Eerie score, incredible set designs, and one of the coolest scenes involving public transit. this drips with 60s sex appeal

  • But I'm a Cheerleader

    But I'm a Cheerleader

    ★★★½

    Thank you to this film for giving us RuPaul saying “I myself was once a gay” wearing a “straight is great” shirt. Heartwarming and horrific, a satire ahead of its time. ❤️

  • Café Society

    Café Society

    ★★★

    Now this is Kristen Stewart pretending to be straight!

  • Museum Hours

    Museum Hours

    ★★★½

    Meditative and immersive. There is a connection both the characters have to the art and to each other that feels so authentic, it makes me nostalgic for the serendipity of connection pre-pandemic. Perfect for days when you’re missing museums 🥺
