I know it’s an unfair comparison to make, but Tangerine is more neorealism than a Rossellini film. I admire it for its fast-paced, guerrilla style. The fact that it was shot on an iPhone worked to its stylistic advantage and was never an aesthetic hindrance. The cast was really great and much like The Florida Project, I cant help thinking there was a fair amount of improvisation in dialogue. If I’m wrong, it is only more proof of Baker’s ability…

A Fantastic Woman 2017
A very solid drama with a tour-de-force performance at its centre. On the one hand this film is not afraid to depict some of the cruel realities that come with transitioning still, and on the other hand the films language is poetic and rich with visual metaphors. There is a sequence in this film which to me is as hauntingly beautiful as the underwater dancing in L’Atalante.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2017
This film is more uncomfortable than the folllwing things:
- Touching soggy food in the sink.
- Scraping your teeth on a chalkboard.
- The eye-contact between you and your mother when she caught you masturbating.
