Last night I saw Mia Moore Marchant's extraordinary AGAIN AGAIN, a deeply romantic and painfully honest film about memory, regret, and finding oneself in a world that feels stagnant. This thing destroyed me.

Our Lady of the Blåhaj.

Review | SCREAM 7 - "Little more than the death rattle of a once cutting-edge franchise, now creatively decimated by the arrogance of its creators."

Seeing people tut-tut the OBSESSION art designer for plainly stating the conditions she endured and the pay she received is so fucking disheartening. How do you understand this little about how labor solidarity is built and how capitalism keeps us fighting over scraps?

Lisa Cholodenko's debut film, HIGH ART (1998), arrives on Blu-Ray from @criterion.bsky.social on June 16!

Caught up with SCREAM 7 last night and...woof. Even if you put the Melissa Barrera controversy aside (which you shouldn't), this is the first Scream movie that just has nothing to say. It's just blatant nostalgia bait and fan service from start to finish.

Hi chat

Bird watching

Dudes tracking down my personal Instagram to harass me over Obsession. Cool, cool...

158k likes, btw.

My husband just found out the Criterion Closet exists and now he wants to build me one and it's the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to me.

It's my daughter's last day of kindergarten and I am having FEELINGS.

Review | OBSESSION: "An ugly, mean-spirited piece of work whose aspirations of feminism are undercut by its dogged unwillingness to grant its women any humanity at all."

We look like we're about to star in the okay-est buddy comedy of 1996.

What it feels like to post about Obsession on Twitter dot com.

This is Gabby and I would die for her.

This is what happens when a woman criticizes Obsession online and tells you basically everything you need to know.

Exactly why I hate this movie with my whole heart 💙

"Nikki isn't the villain in Obsession, Bear is." CORRECT! That does not, however, prevent the movie from treating her like a psycho girlfriend trope. The movie is playing to male anxieties while pretending to be a feminist text on "nice guys" trying to possesses women.

Just got out of Obsession. Women be crazy, amirite? Fuck this movie.

My father in law is watching THE OUTLAW JOSIE WELLS on cable, with a DVD copy of THE OUTLAW JOSIE WALES laying next to the TV. Legend.

Got my hair done.

Watched NINE BEHIND on @criterionchannl.bsky.social last night and...Sophy Romvari has just been out here dropping emotional nukes one after another since the beginning, huh?

Lasse Hallström's AN UNFINISHED LIFE is currently the #2 movie on Paramount+ for some reason...

Every day I feel more and more justified in my original feeling that SON OF SAUL was built around a gimmick that couldn't get out of its own way.

That thirty-something trans woman will fix you, btw.

My books are finally home!

Made a friend at the bar.

Packing up my books

Meet me at the sock hop?

Watching people on Facebook share anti-data center memes created by AI...

One of the best compliments you can get as a film critic is someone telling you that you turned them onto something they may not have encountered otherwise, sought it out, and ended up loving it. Thrilled to be spreading the gospel of BLUE HERON!

Review | BLUE HERON - "Romvari refacts the narrative in ways that are often breathtaking, assembling and reassembling the pieces into something that feels like an emotional depth charge." www.fromthefrontrow.net/home/blue-he...

LMFAO

It's a look. Get into it.

My magnolia tree is blooming. 💜

I think it's very weird that so many people are taking this tweet seriously when it's so obviously a joke.

Spa night

There is a local handyman service called "the Multipurpose Men" and I feel like that leaves a lot of room for interpretation...

Even AI women don't want anything to do with Paul Schrader.

Endlessly fascinated by the way BLUE HERON explores memory, especially as an adult trying to make sense of a world shaped by things they experienced as a child, reckoning with a trauma for which they can never have the full picture. An absolute barn-burner by Sophy Romvari.

My daughter: "Why is it called Drag Race?" Me: "Because it's called drag when men dress up as women." Daughter: "...wait they're men? But they're so pretty!" Me: "Yep! There are some women who do it but a lot of them are men." Daughter: "But Lady Gaga invented it..."

Hubby's been busy putting up movie shelves for me while I've been out of the house today 🥹

Cannes hates Paper Tiger? Masterpiece incoming. #grayhiveforever

What if they invented a woman who was kind of chubby and had correct opinions about movies?

I love it when Wordle Bot tells me a different guess that couldn't possibly have been the answer would have been "more efficient," and yet I still solved the puzzle in fewer guesses. Fuck you Wordle Bot!

trans people deserve to live, freely and openly and safely and unconditionally

Times like this make all the trans intracommunity infighting seem so painfully inconsequential. I'm so sorry this world failed you, Juniper. You should have gotten to grow old.

I just spent 5 mins frantically searching the house for my purse that I had on my shoulder the whole time. I think it's time to go back to bed and just cancel today.
