Silence (2016) - Rated 14 Dec 2021
"it's interesting, I'd rather read the novel. film sort of elevates the bias and keys in more into the white savior etc, even though the fallout of its ideas are way more complicated than that... most of the focus is on those simple aspects and gesturing toward some kind of solemn meditation of them"
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) - Rated 29 Dec 2020
"expensive pos. long and pointless. spends time on these characters like it wasn't already a sequel to a pointlessly long film. atrocious writing, platitudes, speechifying. doesn't know what it's about"
Wild Mountain Thyme (2020) - Rated 17 Dec 2020
"a pastoral conservative fantasy that's "shaken up" by a supposedly crazy lead, only neither aspect is believable, both feeling out of time and place"
The Law of the Excluded Third or No Third Is Given (2016) - Rated 10 Dec 2020
"fantastic performances and an overall interesting film, but I dislike the overbearing self-aware sense of cultural reproduction—an art film about academics is like putting chocolate in hot cocoa"
Brother (1997) - Rated 07 Dec 2020
"doesn't really earn its violence. yeah sure the degradation of the collapse or whatever. but I stand to wonder if this kind of power-over was the reason for the collapse to begin with. stunning choreography though, completely stunning"
Malenkaya Vera (1988) - Rated 03 Dec 2020
"exploitative, hard to watch, cramped and small, misery at every turn. a rebellion with no substance. it's rare when the exploitation feels so politically charged, like it anticipates critique"
Live Forever as You Are Now with Alan Resnick (2013) - Rated 03 Dec 2020
"obvious parody of silicon valley, the cutaways aren't that funny but the mannerisms and style of communication is on point funny"
Garazh (1980) - Rated 01 Dec 2020
"really incredibly naturally funny and layered in its tiredness and pointed satire. the funny content is what matters to me though and the central jokes are so so good"
Mulholland Drive (2001) - Rated 29 Nov 2020
"honestly feels like all the artifice also does the necessary steps to pin down hollywood. i've seen all these tropes before and so instead i see doubles, triples, fakes, misdirection. the apparently coherent story is a hollywood-esque distraction from the deep suffering"
Anniversary of the Revolution (1918) - Rated 28 Nov 2020
"unimpeachable from a historical standpoint and some of the shots are stunning, like, a good eye for showing 'what it was', but it is also very bloated with information. most dire when it just parades portraits of officials"
