4:44 Last Day on Earth
★★★★½ Liked Rewatched

So many things here that I adore: the score that plays over the opening credits becoming diegetic when we learn that it’s coming out of a character’s ipad, computer screens with 35mm grain, the Vietnamese delivery worker skyping his family (that last look they share will haunt me), Willem Dafoe’s raw animal sobs when his daughter makes an offhand joke about how a friend won’t lose their virginity before the world ends, and one of the best sex scenes ever…

Cast Away
★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Caught everything from the island on on FX, first time since I was around 14 years old. Cried when Wilson floated away. Great Hollywood moviemaking from one of the greatest practitioners.

Margot at the Wedding
★★★★ Rewatched

The feeling of being goaded into climbing a tree, and then your family loses interest and you’re alone at the top of that tree.

Megalopolis
★★★★ Liked Watched

An old man’s hopeful dream of the world his children and grandchildren might be lucky enough to inherit. There’s a sequence, as beautiful and transfixing as any I’ve seen in recent memory, in which Adam Driver travels to this kind of ethereal, glowing flower shop to commune with the spirit of his deceased wife. This film is dedicated to Eleanor Coppola.
