"I'm not queer." 

"I know." 

Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of Burroughs' novella Queer is a landscape of desire that doesn't shy away from portraying the more darker, drab side of queerness. The film is to me, first and foremost, a portrayal of loneliness, ever present in those deemed social outcasts. Loneliness so inescapable, so ingrained in the queer experience that it carries onto present time. 

But there is beauty to it, represented in the long glances and skin-on-skin , beauty in…

It took me almost a whole week to write this review because I've just been thinking about how to fit all my thoughts into a nearly formatted document. I don't think I can, even still. This is my first attempt at doing so. 

I'd like to start by saying - without doxxing myself - a lot of the scenes were filmed where my family is from. The restaurant scene is the very same restaurant I used to go with my…

I was waiting for this for so long and I can absolutely say the wait paid off. 

The anti-AI messaging in this is very strong, maybe too heavy handed to some but I really enjoyed all the Entity sequences, the editing in them is jus so good. This motif in general is a bit reminiscent of Dune's Butlerian Jihad. 

Really insane stunts which I honestly liked more than Dead Reckoning. Also this installment of the series leans a bit more…

Let me just start off by saying I do not care about this franchise, at all. But I've decided to give Bloodlines a chance. 

The script is... largely nonsensical. I do understand that people watch these for the over the top kills but the viewer really has to assume almost every character in this film has room temperature IQ in this one. 

The lead character whose name I honestly can't is basically just Yellowjackets' Lottie Matthews. The acting (aside…

If you watch this movie expecting to learn something about the titular character, you're in the wrong place. 

Mikey Madison is terrific but even her performance could not bring the character to life. The line between her personal life and her work is nonexistent - I'd go as far as to say, we don't get to know her as a person at all. We don't know where she came from, what drives her, what are her interests, why she's working…

Someone called this Saw for religious theorists and I feel like this is a fairly accurate description. 

The movie, especially the first act, might feel overlong to some. I do like the motif of "one true religion" present throughout the movie and in some parts it's more of a drama than it is a horror. I'll try not to give away too much but it's not necessarily an anti-religious movie as it is religion-questioning. Not sure if I'd show it…
