    Blade Runner 2049

    ★★★★½

    no bro trust me i have a girlfriend she just exists as an ephemeral hologram trapped within a program that was sold to me by an overlording corporation to perpetuate my desire for the real touch of human affection in a society where love has long become a commodity 😔

    pleasantly surprised and flabbergasted. churro conversation was unironically the craziest scene

    GO

    ★★½

    this was going so good until that bs ending. sugihara continuously repeats that this is a retelling of his "love story" but i wish it was mainly a love story between him and his own identity rather than one between him and his insufferable girlfriend. this movie was really going somewhere with lots of needed and important things to say about an overlooked demographic and then it just crashed into a wall in the last few minutes. i loved the…

    Barbie

    ★★★

    good news, it is so cute and so pastel and very much a plastic dream. ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋆˙⟡ ♡ ☆‧₊˚∗.。. i really love when you can tell how much time and effort and meticulous fine-tuning went into a film in terms of its production and design---everyone is already expecting it but this is definitely a spectacle worth admiring and having fun doing so! i don't know how much i'm really getting at by criticizing a movie about barbie dolls as…

    something inside me died and went to heaven when mr. nanami kento loosened his tie and obliterated that curse with his sleeves rolled up. thank you mappa.

  • Nobody Knows

    Nobody Knows

    ★★★★½

    innocent enough that it's delicate and soft at the edges, but also so miserable and real that it rips out your heart and buries it deep into the ground. akira's hair grows longer, his voice starts to change. his shirts get bigger. the weather gets colder, then hotter. the months fly by, yet he's still the older brother. he always will be. each scene is like a fragment of time, slow in the moment but gone before you know it,…

    The Batman

    ★★

    ngl i was getting kind of annoyed watching this because it felt like literally everyone was mumbling?? i didn’t mind how long it was because i knew it would be 3 hours, but the pacing was so weird, and when the credits started rolling i was just relieved. i feel really bad i couldn’t enjoy this :( but i see the appeal, it’s a cool movie. i probably don’t have the right to talk like this bc my batman knowledge is…

    ★★★★★

    a once in a lifetime movie. not to be dramatic but the scene where ashitaka tells san she’s beautiful while he's at knifepoint is my favorite moment in film and probably will forever be. i want to watch it all over again 🌙 🌱

  • Turning Red

    Turning Red

    ★★★★

    sobbed so hard i couldn't breathe! ^__^ sometimes a ridiculous metaphor like an angry giant red panda is the only thing that could possibly describe something as convoluted as mother-daughter relationships and femininity in asian households. (not sure how tf menstruation is the only thing people are getting out of it) loving your mom is instinctual, but it can also be the hardest thing in the world.
    i got so much secondhand embarrassment it was honestly impressive. it's really admirable…

  • All About Lily Chou-Chou

    All About Lily Chou-Chou

    ★★★★★

    how can something make me feel like i'm living a dream and simultaneously sick to my stomach? i feel sick writing this. it's suffocating and soothing, digital and dazzling, tranquil and tortuous in the way that it depicts love without logic, change without warning, connections that lead to nothing except for a few stray messages on an online chat room that scrolls down for eternity. all about lily chou-chou seems to hint at the fact that adolescence isn't a nightmare,…
