i’ve never played the game so i have no idea if it’s a faithful adaptation, but i had fun watching tom holland run around doing action-adventurey things.

Cha Cha Real Smooth 2022
Sundance #8
Cha Cha Real Smooth is the movie I was waiting for!! I was blown away by Cooper Raiff’s many talents here. This is such a relatable and lovely film. The whole ensemble is perfect, but Raiff and Dakota Johnson both stand out. I really can’t say enough good things about it. It’s guaranteed to stick around as one of my favorites of the year.

Good Luck to You, Leo Grande 2022
Sundance #7
Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack shine in this well written, sex positive comedy. Some of the dramatic beats didn’t quite land for me, but it can’t be understated how refreshing it was to see a film treat sex as healthy and positive.

Master 2022
Sundance #6
I was not expecting this one to hit me the way it did. I found this to be absolutely terrifying (so much so I had to keep the lights on at certain points). Regina Hall is a powerhouse, as is Zoe Renee. The social commentary to be found here is brilliant. Master is going to be haunting me for a long time to come.

When You Finish Saving the World 2022
Sundance #3
Finn Wolfhard and Julianne Moore (especially) deliver great performances in Jesse Eisenberg’s directorial debut. The plot doesn’t always feel earned, but at the end of the day, this is a very solid first feature from Eisenberg.

The Worst Person in the World 2021
Sundance #2
I don’t feel like I have anything to add to what’s already been said about this one, but I really enjoyed it. I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing it get a Best Original Screenplay nomination.
