An in depth review, synopsis, and analysis of Sentimental Value (2025), winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes 2025! I gave it 5 stars and found it deeply moving and honest. In this episode I discuss the themes of generational trauma, abandonment, and sisterhood, and I analyze the techniques Joachim Trier uses to explore them.

An in depth review, synopsis, and analysis of Wicked: For Good (2025)! I gave it 3 stars, but have since downgraded to 2 (the more time I spent thinking and analyzing, the more it fell apart). I liked it significantly less than I liked Wicked (2024). I discuss why it falls short and give credit where credit is due for its strengths as well.

An in depth review, synopsis, and analysis of After the Hunt (2025), which I gave 3 stars. My main sentiment is that this had an excellent cast, cinematography, set and costume design, but its weak screenplay undermined them all. Film is a collaborative medium and it’s only as strong as its weakest link.
