  Thelma & Louise 1991

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Gets more clever every time I see it. Despite all the road movie humour and thrills, it's really about a breaking point after lots of tiny little fractures — compounding hostility, leers, and demeaning. As cathartic as it is tragic, and it's done so authentically that I think it specifically looks to connect with female audience members in interesting ways quite uncommon for a 90s movie.

  Also breaks my heart that we're still having the "nobody would believe me anyway"…

  The Hunger Games: Catching Fire 2013

  ★★★★ Rewatched 04 Jun 2023

  Have seen this a bunch of times and yet it still has me gasping... Now that's a moooovie.

  The pinnacle of the YA trend. Was all downhill from here. Beautiful cinematography and music, actual on-location for some of the tropical stuff, unique characters, a middle of the overarching series but feels complete in its own right enough to be satisfying.

  Is basically a deft political thriller for the first act, then when the quarter quell kicks off a cruel yet…
