It is lovely to see Greta Lee finally get to put her main character energy toward an actual main character in Celine Song’s bittersweet A24 romance #PastLives at #Sundance

#Eileen is a little bit Carol a little bit Mare of Easttown and very much dark af Ottessa Moshfegh I had a great time #Sundance

#YouHurtMyFeelings is a pretty perfect matrix of classic Nicole Holofcener things, plus the amazing crease in Tobias Menzies’ cheek #Sundance

#Shortcomings is a charming and very breezy romantic comedy though every time I see Sonoya Mizuno on screen my mind goes right back to her Ex Machina dance #Sundance

Still not sure what to make of #LandscapeWithInvisibleHand Corey Finley’s loopy indie sci fi that is somehow both too weird and not weird enough #Sundance

What a wild and chewy novel I got to review this week for ⁦⁦New York Times Books⁩, and what a perfectly deadpan illustration by Klaus Kremmerz nytimes.com/2023/03/27/boo…
