They have decidedly moved into the National Society’s turf
Watched Annette with a college movie friend. We both thought it was kind of weird and unpleasant. That is how I also remember feeling about Holy Motors though, and that film has really stayed with me.

The only scuttlebutt: Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar will do better than expected, and I hope Jamie Dornan gets the nod for it instead of Belfast.

haven’t seen most of them and am not looking forward to them. watched part of King Richard, about 45 minutes, which was all I needed to see of that movie (two and a half hours long!), and sat through the film about Jonathan Larson with Andrew Garfield playing him in a disconcertingly aggressive way

From some site telling me where I can see it: "If you’re looking for an introspective, character-driven road drama, director Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s latest film, Drive My Car, checks all of the boxes." Geez, I did a whole poll of such films. So I really want to see it--but can't, yet, as far as I can tell.
