Good movie! Check out our podcast review

For the most part #PresenceMovie functions like a more tactile version of David Lowery’s A Ghost Story (that’s a clear endorsement). But the final (literal) minute reveals a stunning image that recontextualizes not only this film, but maybe any other ghost movie ever made. It’s devastating.

My #Oscars2025  Best Picture Ranking. Only the top 3 made it into my personal top 20 of the year, with Anora and Nickel Boys being in my 10. A considerably weaker Oscars crop in a year that was actually quite good.

My Top 10 Films of 2024. A wild and weird (and good!) year for film!
