One Thing I Kind of Like About Longlegs
Longlegs is absolutely a case of style over substance, but that’s not actually a bad thing. Mild spoilers for the movie.
One Thing I Like About Hundreds of Beavers

One Thing I Love About Companion
Companion is so confident and clever that it feels like a fresh and insightful take on some fairly well-worn ideas. Lots of spoilers in this post.

Ready or Not is a black comedy/suspense movie that feels completely like an independent production
