Anora (2024)

Complex, dramatic story, lots of shouting and adult themes, tons of really excellent dialogue - believable, frequently hilarious or impressive in some way - goes a little off the rails at the end and could probably have been 15 minutes shorter, but overall a worthwhile and entertaining movie about power, wealth disparity, and childhood.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.

I Saw The TV Glow (2024)

Creepy slow and artsy, well-acted altho some of the monologues and artistic choices tried a little too hard, overall just different  which I really appreciated, deep and heartfelt and not afraid of some discomfort.
