PEN15 (2019)
Its brilliant and cringey and honest.
Middle school, especially in that era was a weird time. I'm the same age group that this takes place in and as a female, I definitely relate to everything. Doing everything with your bestie together and all the firsts. Girls were and are just as much of hornballs as boys. I was boy crazy and every girl I knew was too.
Yes the lead actresses are obviously much older, but that's part of the joke. They do look very young for their age in general but I think the premise is a little fringe but perfectly executed.
Even the young actors are funny. These are real moments that they're just learning too and then acting them out.
Its not for everyone, obvious by all the mixed reviews but it's not supposed to be. That's what makes it better imo. I could've totally been best friends with these girls in 7th grade.
Tig Notaro: Drawn (2021)
Well done!
I love this concept. I'm a fan of Tig anyways but I love adding animation to stand up. Especially from different animators and they're unique styles for each story. I dont get why people get all salty about it. If it's not your cup of stand up then you wouldn't like it no matter what. But I thought it was hilarious. Tig talks about some dark issues but its good that they do.
Doctor Sleep (2019)
I'm so confused...
I have about 20 minutes left of watching this movie and I don't know if I like it or hate it. I watched the 1980 Shining right before this and it's one if my all time favorite movies, but this literally has nothing to do with any if that and it's a little weird that it tries too.
There are things I don't hate. Everyone's acting is fine and if it was a stand alone movie, it'd be ok. It's an uncomfortable blend of brutally harsh and teenie bop. It reminds me a lot of the recent Sabrina series on Netflix. It's not psychological at all like the other movie, there's no intense build up. Its trying to be edgy without being edgy. But I love Ewan McGregor and like I said everyone's acting was good. The storyline just doesn't make sense at all to me, sequal or not. I don't regret those 3 hours of my life, but won't revisit them either.
