You Were Never Really Here (2017, Lynne Ramsay)
Intense doesn’t begin to describe it. I thought less of it immediately after watching than I did as time went on. As with most challenging films, it takes a bit of analysis and maybe reading a few reviews to get a sense of what you actually saw. Recommended for the adventurous.

Lake Success (Gary Shteyngart, 2018)
One of Shteyngart’s best. Takes the madness of modern living and makes it personal, and manic, and funny.

Review
Black Panther (2018, Ryan Coogler)
One of the better superhero films of late, but I’m not a fan of the genre. In any case, I love the afro-futurism and it was wonderful seeing so many strong black actors playing positive characters that are far less frequent in Hollywood than they should be.

Review
808 (2015, Alex Dunn)
This documentary about a drum machine was a major rush for me. The classic 808 sounds unpin so much of the music I listened to in the eighties and beyond. It’s rather bizarre – particularly since most of those sounds came from people using the device in ways its inventors never anticipated – much like AutoTune.
