Collecting Micro-Reviews originally published on Instagram, Mastodon, and Letterboxd.
Wei Shujun’s 河边的错误 [He bian de cuo wu/Mistake(s) by the River]

Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest
An extraordinary movie that is, and should be, deeply disturbing.

An enjoyable movie worthy of a better script.
Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element
A collection of enormously silly adolescent fantasies, but entertaining.
Miyazaki Hayao’s 君たちはどう生きるか [How Do Y’all Live?]

If, at the end, you don’t know whether to be joyful or sad, you’re in good company.

Hou Hsiao-hsien’s Millennium Mambo
Somewhat spoilery, but plot in this incredible movie isn’t the point.
Yuval Adler’s Sympathy for the Devil
An entertaining two-hander with all the antics you can expect from a Nicolas Cage movie.
Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon
If this isn’t worth an Academy Award, I don’t know what is.
