  Husbands and Wives 1992

  ★★★½ Watched by A.C. Light 10 Aug 2022

  Rigorous formal exercise that’s easier to admire than enjoy.
  Watched with Kenny.

  W. 2008

  ★★★★½ Rewatched by A.C. Light 03 Aug 2022

  Recent American history gets the Barry Lyndon treatment in Ollie’s uncharacteristically subdued treatise on the banality of evil.

  Alex's War 2022

  ★½ Watched by A.C. Light 31 Jul 2022

  A best-of compilation with some January 6 footage shoehorned as bookends. Filmmaking at its absolute laziest. Nice of Alex Moyer to make a movie about her friend tho.

  The Manchurian Candidate 2004

  ★★★ Watched by A.C. Light 01 Jun 2021

  Tonally jumbled, mercilessly convoluted and occasionally brilliant, it's impossible not to feel that the real conspiracy is a studio sanctioned scrubbing of this semi-remake, which flirts with but stops short of being truly subversive. Clearly and frustratingly, there is a Dark lurking within this Dying of the Light.
