A ★★★★ review of Lost in Starlight (2025) how dare netflix drop something this beautiful with basically no promotion… like, excuse me?? lost in starlight is a truly gorgeous, animated romance. the visuals feel almost luminous, the soundtrack ...

netflix is actually criminal for the lack of promotion for this film because wow, it’s gorgeous! watch it! :) boxd.it/dtNtj5

'Sirāt' Review - Hypnotic, But Hollow Oliver Laxe’s Sirāt feels like it wants to be an odyssey, but it’s the kind of journey that leaves you more exhausted than enlightened.

Sirāt is fascinating in its hypnotic beauty, but sadly not much beyond that. I really couldn’t get into this one—it’s one of those movies you either love or don’t. Not really my cup of tea, unfortunately. Gorgeous to look at, though!

Happy International Women’s Day: Honoring the Women Who Shape Cinema Happy International Women’s Day!

For International Women’s Day, I put together a list of films directed by women, some underrated gems, some pioneers who broke ground. These are some of the stories that have stayed with me, and I hope they stay with you too! 🖤

same, i thought it was so much fun!

yeah, i couldn’t remember lol. i knew it was a C something. i actually participated in that 😂 one of the few i’ve done lol

i have a feeling the bride! might end up being a jennifer’s body situation. i’m pretty sure it even had the same cinemascore. i remember loving that movie when a lot of people around me hated it. now my friends love it and it blew up with gen z. i’ll happily ride that same wave with the bride! lol

aww, thank you so much, Jenée! that means a lot!!! i’m glad you enjoyed the movie! 🖤

I absolutely adored The Bride so much. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the Bride, wondering who she really was beyond that brief moment in the 1935 film. This movie finally gives her that life.

My review:

#TheBrideMovie is the film I’ve dreamed of since falling for The Bride of Frankenstein as a kid. Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale burn with raw energy, every frame electrified. Costumes, cinematography, atmosphere—pure, dark magic. Movie of the year 🖤

Every Republican president in my lifetime has picked a war based on a lie when his favorability rating started to tank.

America has never been the shining city on the hill. We've been the land from whence monsters come in the night to drop bombs and fire on children and innocents.

my heart aches for all those little girls ripped from this world, all because some orange fuck cares more about power and money than human life. it’s horrifying, and honestly, it’s shameful to be an american

yep, this is truly the beginning of trump-invested hollywood. I’m so fucking tired, man

yep, you're not wrong with this.

it’s always about the shareholders, never the art. this paramount/wb deal will go down as the most disastrous, soulless moves in hollywood history. it’s bigger than just movies. this is going to cause damage in ways we can’t even fully see yet. scary stuff

honestly, if this deal with paramount/wb goes through I'll never cover anything from them ever again

reposting this list incase anyone missed it. it kind of blew up on letterboxd and now has over 300 movies. enjoy! maybe you will find something you will love! #FilmSky #Moviesky 🎬 #Sapphic #WLW #Lesbian #Queer

100 Nights of Hero: A Velvet, Swoon-Worthy Queer Fairy Tale That Stole My Heart Okay, I’m not okay.

"If you love stories about women defying the rules, queer love that burns slow and bright, and fairy tale worlds that feel alive, you need to see this movie"

i adored this movie! my review: #FilmSky #MovieSky 🎬

A ★★★★★ review of 100 Nights of Hero (2025) okay, i’m sobbing now. this fucking rule and yes, gave it a 5* and idc 100 nights of hero is full-bodied, lace-sleeved, candle-dripping yuri folklore and i am twirling about it. this is for the girls ...

yes, i gave this 5* and i don't care, this absolutely rules. give me more please!!!

sapphic films directed by women quite frankly, sapphic films directed by women just hit differently. it’s not only about seeing women love women on screen, it’s about the care, intimacy, and details only women can capture. free from...

so, i spent hours curating a list of over 200 sapphic films directed by women. stories about women loving women just hit different when women are behind the camera. i would love for you to check it out or maybe recommend anything i’m missing. :) letterboxd.com/caonfilm/lis...

A ★★★★ review of Pussy (2016) one day i hope to have a pussy to be friends with :')

i love mubi's short films. jokes aside this is beautifully animated.

for those who don’t know: ALYSA LIU literally retired after the 2022 olympics, left skating for two years, went to college, lived her life, then came back, won worlds, and just won olympic gold. a comeback for the ages. i love seeing women win. i love figure skating. absolute cinema ✨

finally caught up with falcon lake (2023) earlier today, and all i have to say is: someone PLEASE, for the love of god, put sara montpetit in more movies. this girl channels anna karina, man, she’s so, so good. watch this if you haven’t! it's on tubi! :)

aww, its okay! yeah, it’s out in theaters here now, but not at one near me, sadly. I'll wait until it hits VOD

this movie sounds really good!

SAY IT LOUDER SO THEY CAN HEAR YOU IN THE BACK!

i hate this so much lol

I know it’s not going to be for everyone, and there is valid criticism to be had, but I had a blast with it. It reminded me of being a teenager reading the book for the first time, it captured that feeling so well.

Hope you enjoy it! Excited to hear your thoughts 😊

it’s insane, i’ve had people tell me i’m a terrible person because i loved wuthering heights. like, what are we even doing anymore, man? take me back to the early days of social media, or none at all lol

a week hasn’t gone by that i haven’t thought of the film sorry, baby. ugh, it’s honestly one of the greatest debuts ever made. eva victor is so special

Lauren Bacall could even make a cigarette look cool

A Family Show the Quiet Storm of Growing Up in the Shadows of Divorce There’s a strange kind of quiet ache that lingers after watching A Family. Mees Peijnenburg’s film doesn’t rush toward drama or sensationalism—it doesn’t need to. Instead, it sits gently in the rooms,...

A Family quietly captures the world of kids caught in the middle of divorce. Nina and Eli navigate love, loyalty, and loss with heartbreaking honesty. Tender, intimate, and unforgettable. #Berlinale
