fantastic documentary i watched on mubi last night. the director just followed around his autistic cousin and his family for one summer. his cousin is obsessed with the show survivor and ends every day recounting his day in the form of an episode of survivor, voting off whichever sibling of his that was being to him that day.
it’s a beautiful portrait of this family and the camera never gets in the way of how these people act around each other. everything is told so authentically and honestly and captures what it’s like to have/live with autism beautifully. it’s also so so so funny. anyone who has siblings know the vibes of this movie automatically. i adored it and would highly recommend it. it’s only an hour long too!!

watched this a week ago, and i’m still thinking about it, i can’t stop telling my friends they should watch it. for people who grew up in the bay area, especially descendants of immigrant families, it hits so close to home and is a must-watch!!
it’s like if mid-90s and ladybird had a beautiful gorgeous baby
tw: extreme amounts of second-hand embarrassment while watching

i've had this in my watchlist for the longest time and couldn't find a rip of it anywhere, but luckily it's available on mubi italy!
a dark comedy about the worst people in the world that slowly turns into a character study of narcissism; also a pretty quick watch (only an hour and 30 mins).
would recommend checking this out!

watched this a few years ago and still think about it. set in 1970s disability rights movement and Camp Jened. it’s informative (duh), funny, illuminating, heartbreaking, and a great show of solidarity and its power. have talked to others who also loved it ❤️ on netflix but i think i‘ve seen it in libraries and possibly kanopy if you have access

i get why people only think of movies as a social event, but seeing a movie in a theater alone is the most freeing and therapeutic thing that i do in my day to day life.
gone are the moments of trying to pick something that you think a group of people would like. gone is the anxiety of always thinking about what your friend is thinking of the movie as it’s going on. it’s just you and the movie. i love it

i’m tired to hiding my love for the perfect fast food sandwich. it’s the filet o fish. they make it fresh every time. it’s 4 subpar ingredients on their own, but assemble them together and you have a delicious sandwich.
