    Oppenheimer’s girl dinner: a metric ton of cigarettes and a total of two clementine slices

    ★★★

    Do you know how many 40 year old women are going to be at Coachella next year because of this

  • Barbie

    Barbie

    ★★★½

    In the moments where you can tell this is Greta either just having fun or laying bare her feelings about womanhood and being human, this really sings. I cried in the first 30 minutes when Barbie meets an old woman and simply says, “you’re beautiful”. I cried laughing at the “can I play the guitar at you” Ken bit. But I think people are discounting how many clear limitations there are for this movie that is still a toy commercial,…

  • Aftersun

    Aftersun

    ★★★★★

    You never really shake that feeling of seeing darkness in your parents that you don’t understand yet. The sudden realization that holes are being poked in your perfect image of them, and you don’t know whether to resent them or pity them or all of the above. I don’t like to get very personal with reviews but it’s hard to separate my thoughts on Aftersun from my own experiences, and it’s worth mentioning that I’ve probably never felt so acutely…

    ★★★★

    I feel the same way about Saltburn as people probably feel towards the ultra-rich socialites at its center: who cares if it’s shallow when it’s this pretty and fun?

  • Fall

    ★★½

    Personally, i would have simply not climbed to the top of the 2,000 foot tower with a sign that says “NO TRESPASSING DANGER OF DEATH” without alerting anyone to where i was. That’s just me tho

    ★★★★

    Lily Gladstone gives one of the most important performances of the decade. Leonardo DiCaprio gets spanked. Thank you Martin Scorsese. 

  • Bullet Train

    Bullet Train

    ★★★½

    You know what, it’s an original, ambitious action comedy that has VERY consistent tone and pacing, actual themes (i mean, they’re definitely there), looks good, has tight action, occasional early Guy Ritchie vibes, and an excellent cast who all came to play. Is it kind of a mess? Yes. Do the jokes always land? God no. Was I getting sick of Brad Pitt’s character? A little! Did I learn too much Thomas the Tank Engine lore? Maybe! But god dammit…

  • Priscilla

    Priscilla

    ★★★½

    I admittedly wanted more of karate-era Priscilla and to marinate in certain moments much longer despite the intentional dreamlike fragmentation, but there are unsurprisingly so many subtle & smart ways that Coppola brings us into the loneliness, the control, a predatory relationship with passion but no justice. Cailee Spaeny is out of this world and moves this character through different ages and painful experiences with palpable grace. A beautiful cage is still a cage.
