Cries and Whispers 1972
Saw it for its 50th anniversary screening at the Light House Cinema in Dublin. I think my experience watching it benefitted from being in a theatre with an audience. There was an over-looming sense of discomfort that I don't believe would've been there in a home viewing. Just a really interesting and engaging story that kept me intrigued throughout.

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg 1964
Awestruck by this absolute masterpiece. Everything about it is perfect. I think I cried about 3 or 4 times. Might just be my new favorite musical. What a great way to start the New Year. I have a knack for watching what ultimately becomes my favorite film of the year at the beginning of the year. 2021 was City of God. Now, it’s Umbrellas. Can’t imagine what’ll top this.

Saw it for a second time last night. Not only did I love it 3000x more, (which I honestly didn’t think was possible), I also cried 3000x harder. This is such a perfect film I’m so many levels. Truly magnificent. This is the defining franchise and film of our generation. I’ll still be talking about this movie and the whole MCU in 40 years the same way we’re still talking about Star Wars. Feige, the Russo’s, and Co. are masterminds and I look up to them in ways I can’t even describe.

CHERRY (2021) | Spoiler-FREE thoughts
Directed by Anthony & Joe Russo
Starring Tom Holland and Ciara BravoCherry is a difficult watch. That isn’t a testament to whether the film is good or bad, it is rather a testament to how the material in the film is treated. It’s a picture about the opioid crisis in America and how one can spiral downward to addiction and abuse.
Cherry’s greatest strengths are its performances and how it portrays drug abuse. I think…
