Letterboxd – ObsessiveViewer- The Nest, 2020 - ★★★ November 30, 2020Purely by coincidence today turned out to be a "family in the 80s moves somewhere remote where the father hopes to make a name for himself at the expense of his family's happiness" double feature between this and Minari.The Nest was overall pretty okay. There is some particularly strong acting by Carrie Coon and Jude Law. The scenes where they […]
- Minari, 2020 - ★★★★ November 30, 2020Beautiful family drama. I loved spending time with these characters. The contrast in tone between Jacob and Monica's argument at the beginning of the movie and the one at the end underscores the strong writing. Loved it.

Expertly studying and demystifying complex existential ideas and concepts, Soul arrives at heartfelt and uplifting conclusions about what makes life worth living and what it means to reconnect […]
- Nomadland, 2020 - ★★★★½ November 27, 2020Frances McDormand gives one of the best performances I've seen all year in this movie. The entire film is complex feelings laid out in a realistic, lived in world. Fern is an extremely captivating character. She's silently dealing with the loss of not only her husband, but her community as well. She seems to adopt the nomad lifestyle out of necessi […]
