Angels in America 2003
“i try to tighten my heart into a knot, a snarl, i try to learn to live dead, just numb, but then i see someone i want, and it's like a nail, like a hot spike right through my chest, and i know i’m losing.”
i first learned what AIDS was in my eighth grade health class, during a unit on STDs. we learned its history, its symptoms, its causes, its prognosis, and who it affected - “homosexuals and addicts.”…

Meanwhile, Mickey Rourke’s naturalistically radiant and emotionally riveting performance as Randy “The Ram” Robinson has endured for over a decade, and it will continue to do so for years to come; simply put, in a ranking of the most affecting acting ever committed to celluloid, Rourke’s work here would be near…

The Eyes of Tammy Faye 2021
I’ve been back-and-forth on this film and Chastain’s performance a LOT since I saw it at TIFF in September and I think I’ve settled on both being… fine!
I don’t like either as much as I initially did - I’ve read a lot more on the movie and understand the countless critiques, and I also have a plethora of other leading actress performances I prefer - but I don’t really think it’s fair to make them “Oscar villains” either. Chastain…
