Nightmare Alley (Jan 11)

Nightmare Alley is Joker meets The Prestige, a story adapted from classic cinema that leans harder into the realism of…

basically a Robertson Davies novel but with carnivals, femme fatale, hypnosis in movies, magical realism

Titane (Jan 7)

I’m late to this party, but I have some things to say. Titane was the winner of last year’s top…

body horror, erotics, queer romance, raw

Licorice Pizza (Jan 6)

Licorice Pizza is a sprawling, sweet, completely deranged movie that ultimately feels like more of a game of chicken to…

nepotism baby, some weird power dynamics in the age gap romance, weirdly racist

Last Night in Soho (Dec 13)

anya taylor-joy, chris evans, david ives, edgar wright, ghost story, MeToo, revenge fantasy

Best Summer Ever (Oct 19)

Best Summer Ever came out on streaming platforms earlier this year but I’m seeing it for the first time at…

high school movie, is it too schmaltz?, kind of like the opposite of Rage in Placid Lake, radical representation

Candyman (Sept 30)

Candyman made history as the first time that a black woman director topped the charts for movies in history. It…

are you a superfan of the originals? no? probably not for you, why are there so many bees

The Voyeurs (Sept 28)

The Voyeurs is a fundamentally stupid film and it’s important to recognize that before getting angry about the time it’s…

detective pikachu + sydney sweeny, double cross a double cross, erotics, suicide as plot
