    Anora

    the kind of movie that reveals our own critical biases in really clear ways. above all i think Anora is a mostly fun, an effective slaptstick comedy that isn't really trying to say too much about the state of the world itself and yet the largest critical debates have become about its message or lack thereof. but does that criticism of the movie really matter if the intention on Sean Baker's intention wasn't to have some highly intellectual take on…

    denzel’s streak of playing blue collar kings continued.
    a dude with a sick ass truck gets the final interview

    denzel and pine bonding on the way to their potential deaths and making each other truly smile and laugh. 


    what’s not to love??? 10 stars.

    They Live by Night

    it's wild this motherfucker who looks like he was born a full grown pirate with his eyepatch and never ending half cigarette coming out of his mouth directed some of the most earnestly romantic interactions in american movie history. just an absolute uncanny ability to wreck you with scenes that would have made keats give up writing poems cause he couldn't live up to these moments. moments that feel like you're looking up at the clouds on a sunny 74 degree day and all you can hear is the sound of bees buzzing and the breathing of someone you love laying next to you.
