  Frances Ha 2012

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 14 Jan 2018 3

  Today, strive to be a bit more like Frances: twirl in the streets to some Bowie, tell your best friend you love them. But most importantly, keep at it—don’t give up. Frances’ friends were honest enough to tell her she didn’t have her shit together.

  Frances got her shit together.

  You can too.

  May December 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 21 Nov 2023

  Think Mysterious Skin but Hollywood.

  And camp. Expensive camp. Watching two decorated actresses out-ham (out-ham?) each other was a delight.

  Initially the film incited a bit of tonal whiplash, but I believe Haynes will be lauded for telling a bold story in such an unconventional way—the grandiose, melodramatic score enforced by the borderline-silly overacting, the congregation of two oblivious caricatures whose motivations fly over each other’s heads, all contrasted by bigger, bleaker revelations.

  May December encapsulates life’s quieter chaoses and how duller tools in the shed are tasked with navigating them, ensuing in tone deaf hilarity but, ultimately, harmful repercussions.

  Double Lover 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Nov 2023

  Ménage à trois, incest and infidelity, the blurred lines of consensual non-consent, and the wildest opening sequence to grace thine eyes.

  I haven’t even gotten to the best parts yet.

  Oh, the French—they operate in their own plane of horniness.
