Mother! (2017) - Rated 25 Sep 2022
"After a third rewatch, this is definitely one of my 100's. I've read about the movie being an allegory of religion etc, but for me it's more fun to enjoy the sequence as a depiction of unmentalised feelings and behavior and a jammed pattern between the two lovers and parents-to-be, alas, in the context of him being famous and self-centered and she admiring him for his fame and wanting him for herself at the same time. Mother! is the most deranged, yet empathetic lovestory ever made."
Safe (1995) - Rated 27 Feb 2024
"A masterclass from Moore and Haynes on psychotic decompensation and the difficulties of responding to it. The last part contains a surprising power: the guru, whom I expected to excel in quackery, creates a non-judgmental therapeutic climate that creates mental space for the participants and allows them to look beyond their complaints and connect with selflove, forgiveness, compassion and values in life. Maybe Carol is already drifted too far, but what else is there?"
