The Zone of Interest 2023
Many people try to imagine what it would have been like to be Jewish during the Holocaust, but far too few people try to imagine what it would have been like to be a Nazi. I appreciate that this is a film exploring the latter, one that asks us to humanize our enemies in order to understand how easy it is to become them. The reference to The Act of Killing made for a powerful ending.

Killers of the Flower Moon 2023
It's definitely long, but it's nice watching a film that has room to breathe unlike the breakneck pacing Hollywood seems to favor these days. Whether or not the story is perfectly told, I appreciate that it's being told at all, and hope it inspires more cinematic grappling with our history.
