I will never forget what my history professor told my class in middle school: "Right now, your parents are perfect almost like gods. But there'll be a day when you see their flaws, how imperfect they are. The day you realize they are just people, is the day you will become an adult."

Bright Falls is a 30-minute prologue…
Who would've thunk that an 8-minute video essay on the films on Richard Linklater, exploring his obsession with time and cinema and immortality and the power of the moving camera, could be this emotional? Hats off to Kogonada, he was always destined to pick up a camera himself and create thoughtful works of art. Loved this to bits, I really do need to sit down and finally complete Linklater's filmography.
Notes from Venice Film Festival
Olivia Wilde's twisty turny take on life in suburbia and the oppression of the patriarchy is an overly predictable, soulless thriller with nothing new to say. Pugh rules, Pine steals the show, and Styles is utterly forgettable. Painfully dull.
