2021 has quickly come and gone, which means it’s once again time to break down my favorite movies from the year. In the past, I’ve often found myself saying things like “this year in film was so good” and “I had trouble narrowing my list down to 25.” That was strangely not the case with […]
“Every now and then, when I wake up, I find myself crying. I can never recall the dream I just had, but the sensation that I’ve lost something lingers for a long time.

It feels like I say this each and every time I make one of these lists, but this year was genuinely a very special one for movies. There was so much incredible art put out by such a wide variety of filmmakers. I don’t think I’ve ever had so much trouble picking my favorites, and […]
I’ve loved movies as long as I can remember. Before I could read, I had amassed a collection of videos that I could identify, simply by the design of the text printed over the tape’s surface. I have a handful of vivid memories of those movies that had a particularly lasting impact on me, from […]
