A ★★★ review of Eddington (2025)
If ever there was a difficult time and place to distill, it’s the US in the middle of 2020. Yet Ari Aster’s EDDINGTON manages to capture the outrage, ignorance, and delusion of this moment when a glob...

I haven’t done a review since SACRAMENTO, because I now solely cover Michael Cera films.
A ★★★★½ review of The Phoenician Scheme (2025)
Whenever a new Wes Anderson film is released, certain streams of discourse always surface. Screeds about artificial line delivery, overly-composed shots, and form vs. function are as inevitable as the...

Oh yeah, here’s my review of the very under-hyped SACRAMENTO.
A ★★★½ review of Sacramento (2024)
SACRAMENTO isn’t a coming-of-age movie, but the similar coming-to-terms-with-being-of-age movie. This made-up genre is one I’d use to label films like KNOCKED UP or even RAISING ARIZONA. It’s the kind...

Sadly, DEATH OF A UNICORN offers only a few meager laughs (none of which are from Paul Rudd!)
A ★★½ review of Death of a Unicorn (2025)
DEATH OF A UNICORN is a horror-comedy that stretches the definition for both genres. There are a handful of gory flourishes, and just about as many laughs. The real issue, though, is the relationship ...

My #letterboxd review of #Mickey17.
A ★★★ review of Mickey 17 (2025)
A failed politician looking to populate another planet; a loan shark willing to chase debtors into outer space; “expendable” workers that can be reprinted upon death. There is no shortage of class-tin...

Was FINALLY able to see THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG, and it managed to live up to all the hype I built in my head.
A ★★★★ review of The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024)
THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG opens with a short parable about how the titular fig seed is spread, culminating in the destruction of its host tree. A young sapling slowly strangling an older tree is an a...

I wish there was a way to express I didn’t like the halftime show without everyone assuming I’m just racist.

A ★★★½ review of The Things You Kill (2025)
In a movie of mirror worlds and dream logic, it can be easy to lose track of things. Such is the case with THE THINGS YOU KILL. This isn’t to say the film is hard to follow, or even that it errs on th...

Oh boy, a brand new void to shout into! I hope this one has fewer people who think Joe Rogan is an intellectual.
