Little Darlings

1980

1998

The standout moment for me was the intense, darkly comedic home invasion scene, which had me cringing and cry laughing in equal measure. This was my first Sean Baker film, and I was blown away by his talent. The entire middle section is pure chaos, and…

Harold and Maude

HAROLD: I love you. I LOVE YOU!
MAUDE: Oh Harold, that’s wonderful! Go and love some more!

There is SO much Beauty in the Broken.


There is so much I want to say about this movie but I can’t seem to articulate it all, so I'll just say this:


For me, there have been times when I saw suicide and eventual death as a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Choosing to live isn’t easy, and choosing to…
