45 YearsOther Andrew Haigh
I think the last shot of 45 Years is one of the all-time great shots—I feel confident in saying that even though it just came out a few years ago.

8½Other Federico Fellini
But 8½ is his most perfect while also being his most freewheeling and untethered. I watch this film before I make anything. It’s so alive!

As for Naked, David Thewlis’s performance is my favorite male performance ever.

A Brighter Summer DayOther Edward Yang
And A Brighter Summer Day is just an amazing gangland epic. I don’t know how you watch it without becoming convinced that you’re watching the greatest movie ever made.

The Piano TeacherOther Michael Haneke
If David Thewlis in Naked is my favorite male performance, then Isabelle Huppert in The Piano Teacher must be my favorite female performance. I saw this with my mom at the theater when I was about fourteen or fifteen and we both loved it so much.

MacbethOther Roman Polanski
Macbeth always struck me as one of his masterpieces, and it’s clearly haunted by the Manson murders in a very visceral way.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
