a compelling argument to insert twilight bark scenes into all films

I'm still not sure to what extent I would've been annoyed if this won Best Picture & Director over Parasite. I guess I don't have to really dwell too much on the hypothetical! Losing the big ones probably helps its reputation, as the last time I watched it I was (again) watching under the impression that it was our next Best Picture. It's truly Roger Deakins' show. I want to love it for more reasons though.

Good double bill with The Father.

I can ignore the unrealistic time frame due to its sweetness.

Solid bleak thriller. I liked the way it unfolded, showing more levels to the operation.

A gut-punch in every minute. This oral history is bolstered by its omission of before and after 9/11, focusing on the macro details in the moment. And yet, despite 5 hours of in-depth footage, a lot of the devastation is still left to our imaginations. The gravity of 9/11 hits me more every year as I was too young to understand it at the time.

Tuned into this one on a whim and was definitely worth a watch for something different. I'm typically averse to fantasy but this one gave it their all. Definitely the type of film you only catch at a festival.

I’m all for a rant against nationalism but I thought I was settling in for Ahed’s Knee, not an ego trip.

Missed it at Sundance so I'm glad I could catch it after it got acquired by Neon. Definitely a solid doc. I feel bad that I hadn't heard of Ailey before, though I'm ignorant of the dance world in general, so this is great for awareness. Frankly, it made me excited for Barry Jenkins' planned biopic. He'll nail it. They should cast Colman Domingo as Ailey, that'd be a guaranteed Oscar. You heard it here first.

Beautiful. British stories are dominating TIFF (from the online platform).

Clio Barnard is really one of our best working talents. I regret skipping Dark River now.
