You manage to find the perfect balance of sharing enough of the movie to make us want to see it, without providing any spoilers that would, well, spoil it. Thank you for your dedication to your passion.

I'm going to watch Eternity strictly on this recommendation. I had no idea it existed

Did not expect 2000 meters to Andriivka to be featured.Thank you for mentioning it.

I need you to know that your essays move me to tears. I rarely come across someone who has the literal same internal landscape as me. I feel very seen through your taste. I hope this comes across as genuine appreciation because that is what I feel

The opening 10 minutes of 2000 Meters to Andriivka are the closest I've ever seen to truly capturing the nightmare of frontline combat that is described by veterans

Thank you for including 2000 meters to andriivka. It deserves recognition.

I just watched Eternity last night and wow, I was laughing through the whole thing and then crying at the moment where you're meant to cry because it is soo well earned

Your voice is so soothing. Smooth. I could fall asleep to you reading the phone book.

As far as I’m concerned, you’re a cinema expert. You deserve to be recognized, or barring that, understand you really do know what you’re talking about.

Kore Eda's movie, After Life, has a similar premise to Eternity but takes it in a very different direction. It's a wonderful movie.

Curious if you watched The Secret Agent?
