  The Monkey 2025

  ★★ Watched 01 Mar 2025 3

  Seems to be a very personal film for Perkins and while I respect that pretty much nothing about this worked for me. The humor didn’t land and I was just bored unfortunately.

  Before Midnight 2013

  ★★★★ Watched 01 Mar 2025 1

  I’m still hung up on Linklater writing Celine telling Jesse that women aren’t hung up on achieving anything by a certain age and there’s “less pressure” because women don’t have as many role models to compare ourselves to. I know it’s one moment in this film but it’s just so deeply incorrect that I can’t stop ruminating on it. So much to love here but some obvious limitations too.

  It’s been a tough year and I think we’ve all earned a little fun copaganda. As a treat.
