Hope you catch two Netflix releases of the past month; El Conde and Reptile. I think the latter will end up being quite underrated/overlooked.
Hoping to get to El Conde this week, and will definitely try to catch Reptile soon.
How come you haven’t reviewed any Hong Sang Soo movies? I think according to TSPDT, he is the director with most movies on the 21st century list.
That’s a good question, and a really fascinating statistic. Do you have any suggestions for where to start?
How is Blonde rated 27 with a HR/MS and Promising Young Woman rated at 24 with a HR?
Promising Young Woman has been updated to HR/MS.
Have you caught Conclave yet?
Not yet, it doesn’t come out here until January unfortunately. But it is one of my most highly anticipated upcoming films.
