I think “The Drama” is such a good film for our times — great acting, great craftsmanship all around. Robert Pattinson and Zendaya. We talked about it for days afterward. It’s marketed like a rom-com but it’s very much not. It’s on HBO Max. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
Project Hail Mary (the movie) is excellent even after my third viewing. Its allegiance to the book and the exploration of a hopeful version of humanity under duress is a welcome diversion and who doesn’t like Ryan Gosling? It renewed my optimism which was very much on the wane.
