The Devil Wears Prada 2

A legacy sequel that’s good? Groundbreaking (actually). This movie was made for the people that graduated in 2025 with three writing degrees and are scared about it. I can’t say my hope is fully restored, but it’s been extended a little further ❤️

Michael

I enjoyed watching the recreations of Michael’s iconic songs and dances, but then begs the question…why not just watch those iconic songs and dances? This film lacks the emotional depth and nuance I think makes watching a biopic worthwhile, likely due to how much material had to be removed. Fine enough while it’s on, but nothing special.

No Country for Old Men

Lesbian Space Princess

The “main” theme of this is a little overwrought, leading to less time being spent on some character relationships that could have been interesting, but ultimately felt underdeveloped. Overall though? This is such a cute, fun, and funnymovie to watch. The humor weirdly reminded me of Phineas and Ferbbecause of how ridiculously silly it is. And the Twilight: New Moon reference? I never stood a chance.

The Drama

The Virgin Suicides

Unfortunately, I didn't love this one as much as I had expected to. In theory, I like the idea of seeing this female coming-of-age story told from the perspective of adolescent boys. But that storytelling choice ultimately made me feel distanced from the girls in a way that made this film largely uninteresting to me. I haven't been a teenage girl for a few years now, which I think gives me just enough distance to reflect on that time more surely than I might have even a year ago, even though I can remember it vividly. There are situations that occur in this film where I relate to the girls, but because their story is being told by boys with no interest in their interiority, that sense of relatability never developed into anything I found particularly new, interesting, or worthwhile. Watching The Virgin Suicides reminded me a lot of my experience watching The Master. I understand that the lack of emotional intimacy is an integral part of the storytelling. But I watch movies for emotional intimacy. Movies like these are incompatible with my taste. I find it difficult to enjoy a film that always feels like it's keeping me at arm's length.

Might’ve been just the slightest victim of my high expectations, but I liked it! While I think I could have connected to this more had I been familiar with the web series, I got plenty of laughs out of this and one embarrassingly loud yelp! I love when people make the things they’re passionate about and the community responds to it so passionately. This is the ecosystem we must maintain. Congratulations Matt and Jay :) <3
