Petite Maman 2021
Cinematography, casting yada yada but I am repeatedly in awe of the sound design in Céline Sciamma films?! The way it involves much atmosphere (I mean come on, those Cheetos) and so little music really ties her pieces together in a way that makes them even more impactful.

Downfall: The Case Against Boeing 2022
The construction of this documentary was meh and I never like the unnecessary use of people mourning, but I chatted with a pal last night who's an expert in exactly this and she said it was really accurate (if a bit sensationalized) so this gets a bonus half star for accuracy.

The Kid Detective 2020
If you want to know how my life is going, I had 25 films I wanted to watch in December, and this is the first film I've watched all month 🙃

Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson 2021
The first half really starkly shows how little progress we've made in racism, misogyny, and queerphobia.
The second half really digs in to show the effects this event had on Janet and censorship in radio & television, and the benefits all the white folks around her got from the spectacle.
is this where i got my nipple shame from???

Blade Runner 1982
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
Then they backed it up with the rapey stuff, and the pacing really lost me in the last third or so of the film.
Can't knock the visuals though, partway through I paused and said "they really don't make movies like this anymore, do they?" really lovely to see such seamless transitions, we really use hard cuts too liberally these days!Also, horror has ruined me, I no longer have the stamina for 2hr+ movies

Alien 1979
1. No way those teeny masks with breathing holes did a damn thing
2. Always listen to women
3. Imagine smoking on a space ship
4. I really feel for this cat, my cat sitting next to me while I watched was *not* enjoying all the screeches even through a screen
5. This would make a fun double feature with The Thing
6. I'm appalled that I rated this 3 stars in 2014
