A Body to Live In
★★★★½ Liked Watched

stunning and meditative, moving in a way that felt like deeeeep breaths in and out.

Wake in Fright
★★★★★ Liked Watched

this might be my favorite movie i’ve seen in a while. need to rewatch and better formulate my thoughts, but i will say that watching this for the first time while violently hungover felt apt.

One Battle After Another
★★★½ Liked Rewatched

second watch thoughts:
- any film involving depictions of anarchist/leftist revolutionary movements is always gonna feel a little on the nose for me but lol
- sean penn’s walk is such a perfect character choice for lockjaw
- i love when a movie leans into its length either by drawing out the tension (there will be blood) or stuffing so much dynamic, rapid movement into every minute that you can barely tell how long it’s been (obaa)
- some killer…

Godzilla
★★★★ Liked Watched

okay many people much smarter and more eloquent than i am have written much better things than i can about this re: nuclear war and japan and everything so i will leave that analysis for my friends unwilling ears but as a first time godzilla viewer what i have to say is this: i love movies i love humanity in movies i love the theater experience
