Letterboxd — Your life in film

Over the last so many years, I've been trying to correct my knee-jerk rejection of melodrama in film, but movies like Four Good Days make it kind of difficult.

I'm still not entirely convinced I didn't just watch Kate McKinnon in a sendup of self-important Oscar bait.

Movies don't get more "ehh, it's fine" than this.

I genuinely feel bad for those who can't get on board with Barb and Star's brand of silliness.

Not nearly as bad as its position on the IMDb Bottom 100 suggests, which is not to say that it's particularly good.

As far as thirty-years-too-late nostalgia-grabs are concerned, I guess it’s not the worst one that 2021 gave us.

Burn Attica to the ground, salt the earth.

A transfixing concert doc and also an infuriating example of history being written by the victors.

The sequel does a better job of realizing Riordan’s world-building than the first installment, but not nearly enough to make it worth seeking out.

You know how people joke that Lacroix tastes like someone whispered the name of a fruit from across the room or some such?  That’s what this adaptation feels like - just the faintest whisper of the source material.

Nightmare Alley is a great reminder that I need to watch a lot more noir.

I probably would’ve liked it more if I didn’t see Spider-Verse do the same concept much better three years ago.
