Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life

1925

★★★★★ Watched

It’s so crazy that this exists. Two fledgling filmmakers and a woman spy cross the Zagar river and Zard Kuh mountain range with the nomadic Bakhtiari people in search of fertile ground. In 1924! The footage is amazing tho the silent-film captions are unintentionally hilarious. Watch it, it only takes a bit over an hour.

Adolescence

2025

★★★½ Watched

Is this a film? I watched it. Though it has the feeling of a stunt and wallops its ideas home, it still moves me. I could have watched only episodes 3 and 4. Great performances, the Emmys will come.

A Complete Unknown

2024

★★★ Watched

Maybe my rating is too low. Let’s hear it for really skinny male sex symbols! Timotheeéee sings very well. Ed Norton oozes sincerity. I wanted more on HUAC, Tom Wilson, and Toshi.

A Hard Day's Night

1964

★★★★ Watched

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
