My favorite of the handful of movies I watched this week. No frills, no effects, not 2+ hours long—just a very human story told exceptionally well. Stunning, heartbreaking. This is ACTING!

I am very struck by this film. I think the performances are stellar. Unflinching, mean, and cruel at times. Also, messy and cliche, but I love it. There is something to be said about this poster, too. I totally see why others might not feel the same, though. Definitely of its time. Even so, wow. This is my Mike Nichols' pick, tbh.

I’m sure you’ve seen it, but if it’s been awhile (it had been for me) I recommend a re-watch. My mom‘s husband had been politicking for its election as our annual x-mas watch for years and I was finally out-voted in its favor this year; I can admit I was wrong. I was near to sobbing by the end and its old-timey-ness did not detract from the incredible writing, pacing, and understanding of the human condition, rendering it - actually - time*less*.

Pt 2 of my Richard Jenkins Double Feature
One of the most accurate depictions of a Thanksgiving dinner with family. I love movies based on plays or scripted to be like plays with plenty of engaging dialogue.

Actually I have another hater take. Sorry but I do judge you if you use this (or any other AI chat bot because apparently there are others?) and treat it as a source of truth.....very strange behavior. I thought we all thought it was dumb but I now hear people reference it's use in common conversation/at work as if it's not weird? Why are you all feeding the beast? Can we please use our brains? Use it or lose it, baby!

if we all commit to the old fashioned way (dating irl) then I think the whole world will be hot and sexier—a net-positive for society 😌
