Anyway I know last year I said that I would be back in this space, but this year I actually mean it. Even if no one else is still here!
What did you love that I missed? Loads, I bet; tell me what to look for!
wicked jaws 
I’m dying to know your opinion on Tár. I loved it, but I can understand why you wouldn’t.
(P.S, You’re one of the things I miss most about Twitter!)
I found it *riveting*, and I saw it before I encountered any discourse, which thank goodness for that. I’m curious to revisit it when it hits streaming – tomorrow, I think? Now I’m thinking about why it didn’t land on here, & I think it’s because I saw it the same day as Aftersun & putting this together I realized that 2022 was firmly the year of parent-child movies for me.
& good to hear from you! I have not felt interested in any of the landing sites of the Twitter exodus, which certainly makes life quieter, but I do miss it too.
Thanks as always for sharing your list! I always end up adding something to mine!
So glad to hear it! That’s what it’s for!
