Not Okay 2022
This film had some really great performances (O'Brien, Isaac, Deutch), it's just a shame that they all felt like they were from different pictures. It walked a very uneven line between dark comedy and social justice flick. O'Brien's pitch perfect douchebaggery didn't really fit in the same breath as the sincerity of Isaac performing slam poetry. I was just confused, yet still entertained. It tried to say a heck of a lot more than it actually said. Kind of like this review. Sorry not sorry.
Also, this may win this decade's prize for most the annoying use of token queer characters. -
Anything's Possible 2022
Representation matters. So I suppose that can include cheesy high school romance movies.

Petite Maman 2021
Maybe it was the pitfalls of expectation, but I had trouble connecting with this film. The sadness just stared back at me blankly and didn't resonate.

Top Gun: Maverick 2022
Four Things:
1. They really should be wearing helmets on that motorcycle.
2. The football game was far too vanilla compared to the original homoerotic volleyball scene.
3. Are we sure Miles Teller isn't actually Anthony Edward's child?
4. Tom's filler is starting to be distracting. -

Montana Story 2021
Every cast member brought something to the table that grounded us to the heart of the story. It was beautifully shot and the production design and costumes were spot on.

The Lost City 2022
I went to this with my folks (honestly not sure I would have seen it otherwise). Sandra did Sandra very well and Channing was charming. It made me laugh more than I expected.
