unfortunately i’m always going to be a little gagged by the unrealistic plot twists and the real magic being the family we found along the way

Cha Cha Real Smooth 2022
“unconvincing” is the word that comes to mind. i don't buy anything about andrew (are we left to infer that he's so great at party-starting because of his younger brother? because he isn't as mature as he wants to be? because he's just such a great, talented guy?) or domino (because of both the drowsiness of johnson's performance and her written-by-a-man coolness: her "messiness" is never dangerous or sad, just sexual and comforting), especially because the actors' casting muffles the…

also, i hope they keep this poster up. bernardo & anita supremacy! (the shot of them kissing through the fabric made me want to pass away) -
Spencer 2021
i think it’s fair to make a fable about diana, because if some reactions to this prove anything, it’s that we have already made her a character, a martyr, someone to win a lookalike contest of. what i appreciated about stewart’s performance was how clear it was that her diana — because, in a world where currency is everything, there are so many dianas — was full of the rage, anxieties, and doubts that besotted the real-life woman. in this…
