Call Me By Your Name [2017]
Call Me by Your Name offers a sad but powerful portrait of first love. However, I’m not sure it deserved all the buzz it generated back in 2017.
Why Women Kill – Season 2 [2021]
Why Women Kill? Because men, and sometimes status. But in both cases, it’s usually about being seen.
Book Club [2018]
What happens when four 60-something women start reading “50 Shades of Grey”? A fun and thrilling ride with a great cast.
The United States vs Billie Holiday [2021]
The United States vs. Billie Holiday often falls shy of its subject’s transcendence; but Andra Day’s performance offers brilliant compensation.
The Handmaid’s Tale – Season Four [2021]
Season three was just bad. But I’m glad to see the show starting to redeem itself with the fourth season.
The Mosquito Coast – Season One [2021]
The Mosquito Coast is an underdeveloped series of plot twists that left nothing to desire expect wrapping up the season as fast as possible.
Lucy in the Sky [2019]
It’s always a downer when talented artists pour everything they’ve got into a film that stubbornly refuses to come to life.
Sound of Metal [2019]
Riz Ahmed nailed every single part of his character in Sound of Metal. The movie deserved every single Academy Award nomination, and win.
Love In The Time Of Corona [2020]
Love in the Time of Corona is surprisingly welcome comfort viewing. It’s short, sweet, authentic, and very contemporary. And as a single guy, I feel seen.
Firefly Lane [2021] – Netflix
Firefly Lane is based on the book of the same name. Season 1 spans across ten episodes, and it’s one of the most bingeable series on Netflix.
