We Burn Like This (2021)
This movie is poignant and beautiful
Stellar writing, grounded nuanced performances, and a very vulnerable perspective on racism and the many masks it wears in rural communities.
Alana's writing and direction is so, so beautiful. The cinematography and soundtrack, flawless.
Madeleine is fierce and raw as Rae, (loved her friendship with Devery) and the ensemble cast SHINES, especially Angelo Rizzo, Kendra Mylnechuk, John Budge, and Kate Britton.
This film is a home run and really captured the strength of women whose family lineages have inter-generational trauma as well as the spirit of Butte, MT.
It's a very human story. It's not sensationalism, if that's what you're expecting. It's the kind of story we need to see on the big screen, because acts of microagression that lead to racial violence are much more insidious than we are all led to believe.
It also reminded me of how much our Jewish friends and family need our protection and support more than ever.
The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022)
Excellent, ignore the other ridiculous reviews.
Cast is PHENOMENAL. Storytelling is superb. Honestly enjoyed the writing in it more than the entirety of Season 3 of The Witcher. The prequel lore was well-earned and surprising.
Everyone played for keeps. Truly convincing acting by a seamless ensemble. Sophia Brown is such a lovely performer, and her chemistry with Laurence O'Fuarain is just as solid as Cavill and Chalotra's. My favorite part was seeing so many unfamiliar faces in this ensemble (other than the legendary Yeoh of course). It's refreshing when up and coming actors get to show off their chops. I'd rewatch this in a heartbeat.
Francesca Mills and Mirren Mack were also standouts.
