Meet Cute (2022)
If you like broken people, this is for you
I laughed so hard. A lot of others didn't though. This may not b be everybody's film, but if you're reading this review, know that it is somebody's film. This is one of those movies where some people will love it and others will hate it. There is no issue with casting or writing, it just has a niche audience. I'm sad this won't have a greater mass appeal, but I'm happy because I'm the audience this was made for. I thought it was a brilliant comedy about where our brains go when nothing is working out. What if we could do all the things our intrusive thoughts say? How important is it to click? What would you accept to be in love? If you actually loved them? It's felt nuanced and complex and wildly hilarious.
Aziz Ansari: Nightclub Comedian (2022)
Understated and enjoyable
Loved the short run time. Humor was good and it felt genuine. It was a fun ride and I like that those people got a free Aziz show they didn't expect. Is everything he said something we've already seen before, yeah, but so is everything else. At least when he said it I felt like I was hearing it from a friend or genuine person. Maybe he's not a genuine person, I at least appreciate the skill to make me feel that. I also appreciate any reminder that there is a world we live in that we don't have to participate in. Like, the world has an MO that we don't have to follow. I like that.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
As good as end game
End game was not as good as infinity war and somehow still better. It also wasn't as good as guardians or Ragnarok, but still better. Better only in the emotional journey of seeing the completion of years of anticipation. I could suspend my disbelief because I'm here for the magic and I'm here for the love and I'm here for a finale. Spider man was the same, and it didn't have to be. Sure they knew they'd make their money back, and yet these big companies rarely decide to put everything they have into their films. Spider-Man put everything it had into this film. The ending is great, but not what you wanted, which makes it even better. In the end, this film is about Spider-Man, and we get to finally see who he is.
