  The Strangler 1970

  ★★★★ Watched 01 Oct 2023

  I think it would be a mistake to expect a crime thriller that works in a logical world. This is gorgeous and gruesome Vecchiali fantasy and I fell in love and horror at once. Especially enamored with the part where all the women run to the scene of the crime.

  In Water 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Oct 2023

  She’s a full-on Monet… 
  Not sure how I’d explain this one to the uninitiated but as I did with Introduction I feel quite moved by the images I cannot make totally clear.

  I, too, always wake up crying while grabbing my boobs.

  Licorice Pizza 2021

  ★★★ Watched 26 Nov 2021 14

  I had fun, but it lowkey felt like sitting through an entire season of an HBO series that would not let me pause between episodes....... Overdrawn subplots, confusing repeat of racist jokes (don't worry, we PLENTY get it the first time), and it's annoyingly such a male fantasy movie. On the bright side, I went from not getting Alana Haim at all to being quite charmed.

  70mm. Alamo Drafthouse.
