Just watched Atlantics. Mati Diop blurs realism with the supernatural so seamlessly, it’s like watching grief itself take shape. Haunting, tender, unforgettable.

I’ve only recently started dipping my toes into horror, and Hereditary just yanked me straight into the deep end. As a filmmaker, I’m in awe - the screenplay is razor sharp, the acting is unsettlingly perfect. Best horror of our generation.

Just watched Morvern Callar and honestly? It’s giving grief, glitch, and girlhood in the most hypnotic, unbothered way. Lynne Ramsay said vibes first, answers later and I’m here for it. Samantha Morton: silent, sad, and iconic.

Last night’s watch - The Panic in Needle Park.
Can we all just agree - no movie ever captured Al Pacino this raw, this tender, this heartbreakingly human. 🤍

@onlystresstoday It’s wild how the ones who ghost, dodge accountability, and rewrite the story always end up calling you the manipulator. When someone can’t face their own guilt, they project it. So done carrying the weight of someone else’s unfinished truth.
Taylor Russell gives Emily a quiet kind of strength - the kind that doesn’t need to shout to be powerful. It’s resilience without performance. Healing without certainty. And it’s what makes her unforgettable.
#TaylorRussell in Waves doesn’t just play a character - she carries the film’s emotional shift with a quiet, devastating grace. The movie starts loud, heavy, chaotic - swelling with pressure, masculinity, and impossible expectations.
And when she finally begins to let someone in, it doesn’t feel like a romance - it feels like a small, brave act of hope. Of choosing to keep going. To still love. To still believe there’s light after loss.
Russell doesn’t need dramatic speeches or big breakdowns to make you feel what Emily is going through. Her performance is about presence. Every glance, every pause, every ounce of hesitation - it’s so subtle it hurts.
And when her brother’s choices shatter their family, it’s Emily who is left to sift through the pieces. Not to fix them, but to live in them. To find meaning in what’s left.
She plays Emily as soft-spoken, gentle, almost invisible in the first half of the film. But that’s the point - she’s watching everything, absorbing it, waiting for her turn to be allowed space.
But when it all collapses, when grief takes over and silence finally falls, it’s Taylor Russell’s character, Emily, who becomes the center. The stillness after the storm.
