CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH is my new comfort film and now my favorite of Sundance. Being 22 myself, this is exactly the movie I needed right now. Cooper Raiff has made an extremely beautiful dramedy that had me laughing, crying & smiling like never before. Great autistic representation and 🔥 soundtrack. I had ZERO anticipation for this because I've never seen Raiff's first feature, but now I can't wait to watch this again.

The Bitch Who Stole Christmas 2021
This is essentially a Drag Race acting challenge stretched to feature length. Is it well written? No. Is it well directed? No. Is it well acted? Not really. Is anything about it objectively good from any type of technical standpoint? Not at all. Did I laugh and have fun? Mostly.
RuPaul trying to typecast Jan as a girl with no personality is just cruel. Also why was Brooke Lynn playing a Russian hooker? Was Katya not available? I could watch an entire movie of Latrice being the Ghost of Christmas Past/Present/Future tho. Not enough Latrice in this.

Saw X 2023
Hell yeah! This is how you do a Saw film. They finally got it right for the first time since XI. Gloriously gory with John Kramer hammering home that he wants these people to survive his traps. Great traps that are actually survivable, great plot. Think the set up could've been shorter and quicker but this was still great.
However, half star off for the fucking yellow filter in Mexico.

Some Like It Hot 1959
It's crazy how a film from the late 50s about two dudes crossdressing could age this well. I was anticipating this to have aged like milk despite the reviews on here but no, this was hilarious and actually very respectful.

Aloners 2021
You ever see a movie that feels eerily made for you? Like every concept of the message was designed for you specifically to view? Hong Song-eun has created probably the most relatable film I've ever seen and touched me on such an emotional level that no film has ever done before. After watching this, I just wanted to contact her in anyway possible and thank her for making this.

Fresh 2022
I'm never gonna be able to listen to The Golden Girls theme song the same ever again...
FRESH is a fucked up feature debut by Mimi Cave in all the best ways. Sebastian Stan gives his best performance that'll make me never look at him the same again. Features some scenes that had my mouth fully on the floor with an ending that drives its message home.
