"Christopher Bollas wrote something interesting on fate versus destiny. This movie shows the unfolding of the former: it wasn't Orpheus or Eurydice, it was always going to be both. But that doesn't mean that there wasn't ever choice, a destiny, that could have but wasn't turned to."

My Life as a Zucchini (2016) - Rated 25 Aug 2023

"this kind of animation seems to disproportionately argue for itself that it should be able to get away with what in other formats are cliches. But really that is what is the case, notwithstanding that there are some low-key, touching moments."

Aftersun (2022) - Rated 19 Aug 2023

"Wells writes absence, and an ignorance perhaps intimate to all, onto the screen. We only really join her until about an hour after the screening."

Vagabond (1985) - Rated 25 Nov 2022

"Of all the characters the one known least takes center stage, and the seeming identities of those around her unfold after reflections through her, spinning back stories about their own lives: wanting to be alive, wanting dope, wanting to exploit, or that freedom is not possible because of the loneliness. All narratives and identifications fail. For the young woman escape from samsara was not possible, but this movie seems to showcase an attempt."

Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet (2021) - Rated 30 Oct 2022

"Important but not exactly well-made. It also makes an idol of its protagonist in a way that seems superfluous."
