Possible trigger warnings for this very personal, lengthy review. Maybe most important movie I've ever seen.

Fire Walk With Me is a masterpiece because it captures the fullest essence of a true human being depicted in a film. Sheryl Lee as Laura Palmer is a downright virtuosic performance. She feels like a real person who's been through an unbearable amount of trauma. She feels like my mom.

My mom struggled with addiction most of her life, which meant my entire…

"Poor. Voted for Bernie. Shit family. Does that make us soulmates?"

As Julia put it, this is more of a rom-dram than rom-com, but I loved it so much. I cried a good bit.

I've seen a lot of people talk about how it's a scathing critique on modern dating, but it's broader than that. Materialists is a meditation on Love, which arguably makes it timeless. I left Materialists feeling FULL of love and I know I'll happily revisit this…

The characters are more like caricatures, representing all the bad governments and people in power, who yell at each other while blue collar workers sit and watch (this happens multiple times in the film). Yet, the main conflict asks our main character to consider,…
