Nightmare Alley 2021
Bradley Cooper is 47 goddamn years old. Every damn time someone called him "kid" or "boy" or a "young man," I felt like I was being gaslighted.
The rest of the cast was fantastic and this was stylistically very fun at least.

Le Bonheur 1965
There is so much darkness and sarcasm behind the bright colors and cheerful soundtrack. Varda paints a brilliant portrait of male entitlement and obliviousness here. Dang.

The Cutting Edge 1992
I'm pretty sure Moira Kelly's character was supposed to read as high maintenance and bitchy in 1992, but really she's just a woman who knows her own worth and talent and pushes back on all the shit that the men in this movie heap on her.
D.B. Sweeney's acting in this seems to consist mostly of staring off into the distance with his mouth slightly open.
I never saw this one growing up, so it doesn't hold that nostalgic value for me, but it's fairly charming nonetheless.
