"...it’s not merely Maxine’s beauty, but rather her faith in herself and her unshakable belief in her right to happiness, regardless of what anyone else thinks, that has kept her thriving for so long." Well, damn, yes, okay! 🖤

New My Favorite F***ing Movie is out! I originally wrote this essay for Daily Grindhouse when X first came out. I think this is such a special movie & I really love what I wrote about it, so I’m happy to be giving it a second life as part of this series.

Likes/shares/subscribes very appreciated 🖤

I know people have a thing about Kristen Stewart, but I could watch The Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shopper back-to-back on a loop forever and be pretty content.
