    The ending is a little silly, but it's definitely worth watching.

    I loved it when I was a kid. Watched it in a cabin on a wooded island. I haven't seen it since, though.

    Emma Thompson and Hanna Schygulla?! My penis just exploded.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The marketing potential for this title stinks. What would they call the sequel? Dead Again Again? Deader Again? Pfeh!

    (*adds movie to Netflix queue*)

    It's a nice literate thriller with a few well-mounted sequences. Second time I saw it was diminishing returns.

    I never thought of kicks as related to race before now, but that is the whitest kick I've ever seen. The smile and head bob afterward absolutely seals it. Was he momentarily channeling Jim Carey?

    I haven't seen this film since, like, middle school. But at the time I really liked it. It was the first time I noticed that Kenneth Branagh doesn't have lips.
    ...and the milk's in me.
