Deliver Me from Nowhere works as a spare character study of a depressed rock god on the cusp of superstardom, falls flat whenever it tries to flesh that out with biopic trappings. i'll take it over the Dylan one any day.

No Other Choice: loved Park Chan-wook's bleakly hilarious capitalism satire about an unemployed guy who's so desperate for a job that he starts murdering the other candidates. a little Parasite, a little Looney Tunes, and then a big gut punch.

Jay Kelly: very mixed on Noah Baumbach’s saddest but most sentimental movie, in which George Clooney turns out to be weirdly miscast as George Clooney. Sandler wasted. The last five minutes just about save the whole thing tho.

To hell with this. Richard is one of our finest critics, and Vanity Fair and its readers are so much poorer for this incredibly stupid decision.

Thunderbolts* is definitely the best Marvel movie in a minute, whatever that's worth, but this back-to-basics adventure still can't quite outrun the emptiness at the center of the MCU. Florence Pugh rules tho.
