Aftersun 2022
This is a movie where you just want to say a resigned "damn" once it's finished. It works well as you're watching it, but it's one of those movies that will likely work even better upon a rewatch. Not because you ~figured it out~ like a Christopher Nolan movie, but because you know what the emotional crescendo is, which will make every preceding scene hit about 10 times harder.
Paul Mescal and Francesca Corio are so so good in this,…

The Banshees of Inisherin 2022
In Bruges is an all-timer for me, so with the stars and writer-director returning, this was my most anticipated movie of the year. It didn't disappoint.
It goes to some dark, dark places, and will leave you with a hollow pit in your stomach, but that's kind of what I want from a McDonagh movie. Besides, the consistent, dry, Irish wit offsets the dread and darkness just enough to not leave you completely hopeless.

Drive My Car 2021
It’s a movie about art and stories and the effects they can have on us. It’s about how we relate to people. How we understand them. And how we don’t. It’s about grief and letting yourself and those around you be human. Its about the masks we wear and the lies we’ll tell thanks to the never ending stream of griefs. It’s about letting yourself suffer, cry, and say life is hard. But most of all, it’s about taking each and every one of these ideas and moving forward each and every day of your life.
Absolutely beautiful.
