“Die My Love”

This reminded me a lot of Jennifer Lawrence’s other strange film that mostly takes place in a house where someone has writer’s block – “Mother!” This film, too, left me utterly befuddled. Alas, I made it to the end, even if it was out of spite. I can’t really tell you what the journey was for, but I can guarantee you it was WEIRD. Disturbing imagery and nonsensical narrative keeps you guessing pretty much from the first frame to the last. Be prepared to want to take a cold shower after this one…

A feel-good political drama/comedy? As insane as that sounds – yes. A great one, at that!

Get ready to hate this husband with every fiber of your being. Punchable doesn’t even begin to describe him by the time the third act rolls around. The messiness of the family was relatable and I was able to find a great comfort in the imperfection of almost everyone on the screen. There was a realness here that really made me feel at home for an hour and a half, and left me a bit bummed out that the credits were already rolling. We all need a good scream from time to time… I’m with you, Jamie Lee Curtis!

“Black Phone 2”

I really dug the homages to past horror movies in this one! Going full “Nightmare on Elm St.” allowed the story to blossom nicely to a whole other level of terrorizing fun. Ethan Hawke continues to be genuinely terrifying as the Grabber, who gets a well fleshed out backstory in this installment. Really well crafted scares and tension you could cut with a knife. Everything you loved from the first, and more. All without losing its charm.

“Together”

This will now be what I imagine when my girlfriend says she wants to get closer…

Body horror at its finest with the weirdest, yet perfect Hollywood couple who are the only two I can think of who could pull of this insanity. If you have a weak stomach, bring a barf bag. This one doesn’t hold back. The most moist thing I’ve seen since “The Substance.” Don’t say I didn’t warn you… it gets WEIRD.

I guess this is one way to deal with your grief…

I genuinely did not see the third act coming! The two lead actors killed it in this tale of friendship and family, whether chosen or born into. A deeply personal study of relationships and psychology, and the complexity of dark humor within grief processing. Much deeper than I expected at the onset.
