Ghost World

2001

★★★★ Liked Rewatched

Rewatching this reminded me of how so many 90s teens decorated their rooms with 20th-century cultural debris.

It was peak season for seeking out that kind of treasure: weekends at flea markets/antique malls and always taking alleyways home just in case someone had tossed out a colossal console TV, some colorful Eames chairs, or a space-age dining table. Maybe a thoughtfully curated set of moog records or a beloved 1967 wardrobe collapsed into garment bags—both long since separated from their…

The Green Ray

1986

★★★★★ Liked Watched

I resonated so deeply with Delphine. The desire to never be alone versus the reality of spending much of your time alone.

I’ve wandered so much in my life without a fixed destination, endless hours spent observing and listening—always longing to share those moments with someone.

As I finished viewing, it was sundown here and raindrops began to hit the window. Rain here is as rare as a green ray, so I’m tearing up now.

GATECRASHER: An All-Women’s Parkour Action Film

2024

★★★★★ Liked 1

A dream come true. Skate video renaissance via an all-woman parkour crew! Watch them leaping, flipping, and flowing through Europe. Friendship, shared determination, mutual , and so much love.  

Beautiful moments of travelogue and hangout are spliced in with the action and the soundtrack hits hard.

Sporty girls are the best girls! Here’s hoping this inspires women worldwide to start parkour crews, make videos, and have their own goofy epic adventures.

(Stay until the end b/c the roll call and one-shot around their collective living space is an A+ finale to an A+ vid!)

Kimi

2022

★★★★ Watched

Her suffocating yet swift outdoor skulk is so familiar to someone living with an immune disorder.

The frustrating & inflexible pressure for in-person meetings is here too along with the renewed marginalization of immobile people in a post-lockdown world. 

A truly honest performance and an enjoyable 90 minutes. Soderbergh and Zoë both on point.

Party Girl

1995

★★★★½ Liked Rewatched

A classic that truly captures 1995 like no other. This is a film that exists primarily due to love & community (alongside a micro-budget). The highly recommended release from Fun City Editions includes a brilliant restoration and present-day interviews with cast & crew.

It was lovely to hear Parker Posey that her looks (which she serves so many of in this film) were of her own creation and that the NYC club scene (aka most of the cast) were already her…
