I want to love Reichardt’s work so very much but can’t quite seem to find a way in. Anyhoo, thank god for wonderful John Magaro.

I’ll have more to say once this gorgeous, unrestrained mammoth of a film finally settles — if it ever quite does. For now, I just want to note that there is a cut + filter change in this that is so, so good it had me like Nicole Kidman in the AMC ad.

I know it’s futile to wish for a film to be something it isn’t but my god I wish this did for its whole two hours what it achieves in those last ten minutes

Watched on Thursday May 22, 2025.

It feels a shame to me that a filmmaker so drawn to the messy can be this restrained by tidiness

Unsure as to whether I have ever been as befuddled by a glowing festival response as the raves for this at Cannes. A ghastly, deeply unfunny, nails-on-a-chalkboard kind of vanity project.

Watched on Tuesday May 20, 2025.

Seeping with anger and empathy and grief, plus the greatest final scene of the year so far.

Watched on Tuesday May 20, 2025.

Earnest but heavy-handed and messy and, perhaps most shockingly, at times almost excruciatingly dull

Watched on Monday May 19, 2025.

A work of such sensitivity and with such an impressive grasp on the dichotomy of memory as elusive yet ever-enduring. “The memories that pain you when someone leaves are the same ones that will comfort you later.” 

Watched on Monday May 19, 2025.

A film that grabs at the fabric of a people with the confident, hungry hands of those who love it.

Joe is Afraid

Watching this in the Lumiére with the new sound system BANGED

Watched on Thursday May 15, 2025.

Found it hard to sit with its privileged gaze for much of it, until the very last two minutes, when finally a sliver of something real seeps in

Only those who ever had to build a wall understand the erotic potential of an evenly applied coat of polyfilla

Womanhood as a phantom limb; a thorny yoke, somewhat intangible, which aches so deeply, continuously, it cuts through time.
