Watched society of the snow and absolutely loved it. More than I thought I would. I thought it was going to be very Oscar bait-y at the expense of the survivors but it wasn’t the case at all. Really well done, I was crying the whole time

Also A+++ cinematography

It's incredible and I liked the 'twist'. Also the narrator looks like if Adam Driver and James Franco had a baby.

I didn’t see James Franco but I definitely see a better looking Uruguayan Adam driver!

I love his accent too so I appreciated the twist

So beautifully done in every aspect. It's a haunting film and I was left with a pressing need to know if the survivors were able to overcome their trauma and the overwhelming guilt they must have felt and were/are able to live their lives with no regrets. The special effects done for the crash and avalanches were some of the most realistic I've seen in a film.

Went to see The Zone of Interest last night. I wouldn't say I *liked* it, because it's really not that kind of movie, but I thought it was extremely well crafted and the sound design is fucking chilling. I can see why people think it's a strong contender for International Film. I definitely never want to watch it again!

I've been on a roll of downer movies since the start of the year (The Color Purple, The Iron Claw, Godzilla Minus One, etc), so looking forward to hopefully watching something soon that doesn't make me cry and/or feel hollow inside! Maybe Mean Girls or The Book of Clarence. Might watch Self-Reliance, I like the cast.

I’m going to see the Zone of Interest this weekend!

Seeing Mean Girls on Sat (my hopes aren't very high lol) and The Book of Clarence on Sunday. Might get to Society of the Snow tomorrow night. I might check out The Beekeeper just for the meme-ness of it all if I'm really bored over the long weekend.

Interested in quite a few of these! Destroy all neighbors, Self-reliance, and TIM all look fun.

Laced also seems interesting, but realistically I will probably forget about it by the time it starts streaming somewhere.

I'm taking advantage of Showing Up being Kanopy. Nice to see Godland is too since I'm trying to watch a good amount of the shortlisted movies.

I've been watching a lot of shorts. It makes me really appreciative of what stories can be told in less than 30 minutes.
