  • Varda by Agnès

    Varda by Agnès

    ★★★★

    Always great to spend more time with Agnès

    But if you’ve just watched 5 of her films in the past year, including Beaches of Agnès, you might find this to be too familiar to be fresh.

  • Frances Ha

    Frances Ha

    ★★★★

    sophie is one of the most iconic characters of the last 10 years.

    this movie is thematically in the same family as both elena ferrante's neopolitan novels (female friendship) and "my year of rest and relaxation" (20-something woman in nyc on a downward spiral)

    all the best moments were written by greta

    i hated this movie when it came out. it struck a little too close to home.

    Meet Me in St. Louis

    those little girls are diabolical. i love them.

    greatest old-timey "let's-go-back-to-my-place" line of all time: "would you mind accompanying me through the house while I turn out the lights?"
