Promising Young Woman 2020
Wasn’t a slasher but damn did Cassie slash through EVERY SINGLE VICTIM BLAMING AND SHAMING EXCUSE EVER 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Really relieved to see them handle the topics surrounding rape and assault in the right way, especially with them emphasizing that instead of teaching woman “don’t get raped” we should be teaching men “don’t rape.” The victim blaming can only end when we start to shift our rhetoric and therefore shift the responsibility.
Also what a killer monologue from Carey Mulligan towards the end. Such a powerful, deserved crescendo that solidified her performance. Put simply: this movie successfully accomplished what it was trying to do. -

Another Round 2020
Exactly what you’d expect based off the trailer plus a well deserved ending. Also why is Mad Mikkelsen so weirdly hot

Nomadland 2020
An open palm of a movie. The invitation was there, however a consistent voiceover wold have helped it close its fist and deliver a full punch. I feel like that would have also helped its transition from book to screen. A lot of the more emotional moments felt distant because while the depth was evident, it came too early on from characters I didn’t yet appreciate due to lack of screen time.
I’d be curious to read the book to see…

The King of Staten Island 2020
This didn’t even feel like acting. That was the best part. That, and such fully functional and developed characters. So funny and heartfelt too
