Now this is my kind of coming of age. There isn't any like it I've ever seen. A refreshment of nostalgia. An adolescent, pubescent slice of white suburban insecurity. It's difficult to put into words the insurmountable strangeness of the film. It's a straightforward script to be clear, but the effictiveness of its simplicity, the natural performances from each character, and malaise of daily life is captured beautifully.

Babyteeth 2019
I have a soft spot for coming of age films. Despite my love of horror and genre features, young adult coming of age films hit me right in the solar plexus, and Babyteeth slammed me to the floor. I put this film off for so long for no discernable reason and I'm kicking myself for that. I laughed, I cried, I was in awe of Shannon Murphy's assured direction. I'm astonished how accomplished this simple, yet gorgeous this film is. Drop everything you're doing and watch Babyteeth.

The World's End 2013
There is nothing in this world quite like Edgar Wright's signature editing, movement, blocking, entertainment value, heart, action, and laughs. Absolutely nothing.

Pieces of a Woman 2020
Pieces of a Woman is a tender portrait of a woman slowly fading into depression, with the best performance I've seen this year in Vanessa Kirby.
