  Senior Year 2022

  ★★ Watched by dianefknkeaton 23 May 2022

  Just shut your brain off when watching this, like OFF off.
  But, admittedly, I did laugh a few times ("Bitch, turn your ugly face around and watch the movie").
  Refreshing to hear swearwords and have a certain horniness present.

  I don't think it's necessary for me to list or explain the film's shortcomings, we've all seen this type of Netflix film before.

  The outfits of the 2022 teenagers were so fucking atrocious, it can only be read as satire. I mean, what was that wannabe SATC-2-Carrie-at-a-market-in-Abu-Dhabi prom outfit?!

  My girl KStew better get that Oscar. And prison for everyone at Chanel who thought that was an appropriate red carpet outfit. 

  The score was everything! 

  Yes, it might be a little overdramatic. But that’s cinema, baby. I loved that they didn’t go for an historically accurate depiction of events. They gave us a somewhat happy end. 
  And that cinematography was gorgeous.

  Happening 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by dianefknkeaton 06 Sep 2021 2

  It’s weird to be euphoric for an uncomfortable, painful film. But it’s just staggering. Poignant.
  It left me breathless, with knots in my stomach. Cinema is supposed to evoke emotions. This film achieved that, not many did so far at Venice. And with what’s happening in Texas, this film feels pressing.
