the holdovers

the timing of me watching this movie at this moment in my life was right :-) i enjoyed the deliberate slowness of this movie, and the way the emotions felt very real - never in your face or all at once, but slowly appearing and disappearing and emerging again. I laughed out loud at parts (like genuinely belly laughed!) and also cried. so so glad Da’Vine Joy Randolph got her flowers for her beautiful performance, and honestly Paul Giamatti was robbed ‼️ Dominic Sessa also really blew me away. I really can’t believe it was his film debut

sorry baby

So far the best movie of the year takes place at a New England town, where friendship survives, uplifts throughout enormous pain and distressing experiences. Written and directed by Eva Victor, she plays a brilliant professor that has something astonishingly awful happen to her, and Naomi Ackie plays her friend who is supporting through a challenging time. By far, my favorite thing about this film is its humor, and how handles the event in questions, gently made which makes it all the more painful. It's an instant classic. THANK YOU FOR THIS MOVIE!

A real pain

I knew I was going to love this movie just because of the concept and the fact that it’s Kieran culkin and Jesse eisenberg but right now it’s the morning after I saw it and I’m sitting in bed crying thinking about certain things different characters but especially David, Jesse eisenbergs character said
I’ll tear up at a movie every once in a while but this movie really hit me because it is so relevant to how im feeling recently like literally every element of David and Benjis (Kieran culkin) emotional characteristics and their relationship with each other is relevant
My aunt passed away in September and I have been weirdly impacted by it since then and I have been working on controlling anxiety and depression for four years now with minimal progress and those two things, (David’s OCD and anxiety/Benji’s grief) are essentially what lead David and Benji to take this trip together so as we learn more and more about their relationship with each other and their personalities themselves it kept getting more and more personal to an almost unbelievable degree
Theres a point where something happens and David sort of opens up and what he says about not actually being okay but just presenting that he’s okay because he takes his medication and runs and meditates and goes to work then comes home then does it all again that really really hit me
It is such a perfect blend of funny but also deeply serious and emotional so even if it’s not as relevant to you right now I think everyone should see this movie

Reading first thing in the morning when you wake up

It’s really peaceful, and just a nice way to start your morning, as opposed to immediately grabbing your phone and jumping on TikTok. Ive been doing it for the past week or so ☺️
