I'm long overdue for catching up on this one; I'll probably remedy that later this week.

Infinite love for Lelio. He won an Oscar for his film A Fantastic Woman, and it caused trans rights to become a source of national pride in his native Chile, which translated to legislative progress for said rights in the country. It at once illuminated the practical importance of queer cinema, and how grossly artificial the political problematization of trans people really is (not that that isn't already glaringly obvious to anyone who lives in the world, but even so).

Your posts always make me want to see films I had no interest in seeing. You make them sound so interesting!

To be fair, I selected what I felt were a bunch of really interesting movies to write about for this site.

Um, the pictures you chose made me feel things. I adore both Rachels so I need to see this.

I didn't think it did! I have no idea what Rachel McAdams is like as a person but I fall in love with so many of her characters. She is wildly charismatic.

Rachel Weisz is a powerhouse as well. I can't believe they were in a movie together and I missed it.
