🍿 Happy #LetterboxdFriday!
Two "OK" movies, two good docs among my #LastFourWatched.
I recommend watching THE NEST on a big screen. The NFB documentary about the matriarchal history of a Winnipeg mansion is chock-full amazing props that are hard to spot on a small screen. #LetterboxdFriday

I currently have a trial apple tv account, so no new films added to the #LastFourWatched list.
I binged Seth Rogen's THE STUDIO, it's fantastic. Couldn't find it on Letterboxd to log it.

I agree 💯% with Christopher Campbell's first two paragraphs in this week's Nonfics newsletter:
📣 We need more critics specializing in documentaries.
Even for me, a documentary fan and publicist, the amount of nonfiction releases is overwhelming. And most film critics prefer fiction "movies." 🍿
