I first heard the plot of Carrie whispered at a slumber party. I was terrified of horror movies — I covered my ears at what my friend deemed “the scary part.” It took years and years for me to watch it. I had myself convinced the atrocities would live in the recesses of my brain forever. Although I’ll admit I didn’t find it that “scary” when I finally pressed play, in a way it did stay with me forever. I…

Potentially the greatest animated film ever made. A film that exists in a place outside of time, temporally expansive and reserved simultaneously, transportive to the point of destroying one's perception of moments as they move, from one to the next, weaving in and out of worlds, destroying & creating dimensions and falling deeper into the pull of novel galaxies; a film that makes you feel like a pingpong ball, only the pingpong machine is a swirl of dreamscapes and non-space and realities and outer space and dark matter, fused into a never-ending, reddening rainbow, an arch of colors formed of folklore in the spiraling sky.
No hot takes here, but this is not a 3-hour panic attack. Panic attacks come on fast and without warning—complete debilitating disruptions with what feels like immediate threat to life. This film takes its time, it ruminates, it catastrophizes, and it constructs—however illogical—logical systems and consequences, all of which are explored and exploded to the molecular level. This is living with and through anxiety.
Anxiety as a term is at risk of losing its meaning, and certainly has lost its…
