One Life 2023
Well structured, emotionally stirring movie about a man’s quest to save children in World War II and the lives he couldn’t save that haunt him. Anthony Hopkins is quite excellent, setting a lifetime of sorrow into his role. Helena Bonham Carter scares me in an aspirational way. Bring your tissues, but it didn’t leave me depressed. It’s nice to see stories of those who help others without desire for recognition.

Madame Web 2024
High school girls need to make a PSA for CPR and decide to integrate Spider-Ladies. Exhausting. Please just sell off the rights to Marvel and stop making Dakota Johnson so sad.

Lonesome 2022
A gay Aussie travels to Sydney in search of freer pastures in Lonesome: a movie that understands the lives of the miserably, destructively horny. There were portions of it that were good, but every relationship was toxic, good and bad seeming. They tried for seedy, and they tried for pseudo romantic; they kinda failed at both.

Totally Killer 2023
Time travel serial killer movie that feels very stale. The repetitive "woke" perspective made me, a generally liberal person, deeply annoyed.
