crazy rich asians
2018
/
to be honest, i've never thought i'd see a movie like this. watching this movie made me realize how long i've been waiting for a film like this, how i never imagined it would come and now here it is. This movie feels like a triumphant rebirth gilded in Singaporean gold. It sounds like the fulfillment of a great promise that Hollywood has forsaken so many times before. If we strip away the crazy and the rich, we have people. They fall in love and meet the parents and make stupid choices and pick themselves back up from rock bottom. This is a story you could have told a million times over with a different cast of different names and races, but this is a story we got to keep for ourselves and share with the rest of the world. There is something so heartbreakingly poignant about that.

to all the boys i've loved before
2018
/
to all the films i've ever loved. never has a film resonated so deeply with me. i've been listening to "i like me better" by lauv for two months now in anticipation, and movie is perfect beat-for-beat. to all the boys i've loved before is something i wished i saw while at fifteen and sixteen and i’m so happy it exists now, even beyond those high school years. to all the boys i've loved before is sweet and saccharine, yet filled with so much incredible heart. it is pastel colors and cursive letters, a love letter to a young girl at sixteen. she bakes cookies and reads novels and watches sixteen candles, in love with love and aching for something real. easily, this film has jumped up to be among my favorites. it is a scrapbook rendering of jenny han's beautiful book series and has redefined what a romantic comedy looks like with an asian american teenager at the reins. we deserve adaptations for the rest of the trilogy, full of cute ya romance and quirky inner monologue and lovely cinematography. and never have i seen so so so much of myself in a film.
