Favorite First Watches of December (still very much in a rut, but let's hope 2025 will be better)
The Bridges of Madison County (1995)

If I ever get to interview Paul Mescal I will definitely bring up that we both played Javert in Les Misérables.

not to be too bitter but sucks that we have been doing very in-depth festival recaps for Cannes, Venice, Zurich & Gent for years but somehow Sundance has always rejected us. I especially don't get why they limit the access for digital press so much...

The songs in MOANA 2 are a step down & Lin M. Miranda-isms are very noticeable. Gets better as it gets on but still feels incredibly episodic. I enjoyed the sister dynamic & beautiful imagery. The forced 'this is a sequel so we need more side characters' don't work in its favor #filmsky
