Vanessa Kirby arrives at the Venice Film Festival on September 7, 2022.

You Can Live Forever (dir. Sarah Watts & Mark Slutsky) x VIFF 2022.

This queer period teen romance about a Jehovah’s Witness community focuses on its burgeoning forbidden lesbian relationship with few surprises but earnestly unfolds a devout religious drama of simmering internal conflict. Set in the 1990s Quebec, YCLF feels particularly universal thanks to its specific setting focused on adolescent young women struggling to express their independent sexual desires amidst a strict religious climate. In particular, the restrained but dynamic lead performances from Anwen O’Driscoll and June Laporte make our investment in the doomed central romance easier to invest into.

Screened at the 2022 Vancouver International Film Festival as part of the Northern Lights series.

. It’s like Olivia getting vogue when she did, if it was September 2022 edition, the whole “woman director” thing would have made more sense since her project dropped then vs 9 months prior.

Olivia’s vogue cover was timed to coincide with the original release date of Feb 22 rather than Sept 22 which is when it finally came out. The pandemic moved loads of films around.

Where is your proof of that? We all predicted that they were going to hold it until festivals (like they did for Dune) way before it was even announced, so it's doubtful they ever planned a February 2022 release date. The studio was banking on a boost from VIFF to translate to box office because it shelved everything except DWD and Black Adam for the rest of the year.

Brother (dir. Clement Virgo) x VIFF 2022.

Virgo’s adaptation constructs a moving portrait of Jamaican-Canadian identity in young men and all of its struggles. Juggling different timelines and characters’ ages gets difficult, but the film wisely focuses on the performances and mood clearly set by its specific time and place. Scarborough in the '90s feels so vividly realized just as the community of people dramatized are so recognizable despite any unfamiliarity with the setting or culture seen. 

Premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival as part of the Next Wave program.

Wow. Look at those Harry stats. I know there are anons here who don’t live inside Harry’s butthole so their first language probably isn’t greedy fucker or homewrecking clown whore. If I may be allowed to translate the money math numbers and facts…

Here they be:

Payola, payola, payola

Billboard

Rolling Stone

Payola, payola, payola

2 - the number of children Harry fucked over and whose lives he destroyed

4 - the number of relationships he broke up

28 weeks - how old Harries think he is

3 - the number of knives he used to stab Liam, Louis and Niall in the back

0 - the number of times since CF that he publicly defended the women associated with him

1 - the number of celebrities he spit on (allegedly)

Nightly - when he spits on fans

2 - movies this year that he ruined because he can’t act

2 - the number of movies this year that he expected to get Oscars for

730 and counting - the number of days Harries have been waiting for Olivia to release Hostagerry

18 and more - the number of months that he held on to his fans’ money because he didn’t want to give them refunds

2014 - the official year he started single white femaling members of The Rolling Stones.

2014 - Harry believes he’s a rock star. Harries believe him

2012 - the year Victimrry was born

2020 - the birth of HO

Payola, payola, payola

Billboard

Payola, payola, payola

2 - black celebrity friends to show he knows poc. Covers plus size woc demographic at the same time

1 - rude motherfucker best friend. (Hello, James Corden, you knob)

2022 - RS declares Harry the new King of Pop; Harry doesn’t deny it

2022 - Old white man wears Harry is the King of Pop tshirt to a Harry concert. Harry is touched since he also believes he’s the new King of Pop. And Rock. Pop rock. He modestly bows as low as his enormous ego will allow him, says thank you and blows kisses.

28 - of October 2022, Michael Jackson’s son says to Harry, “Sure, Jan,” but only one person is the King of Pop - and it’s Michael Jackson

2022 - it turns out Harry is not a rock star. The TPWK line dance is born

5 - of September 2022. Harry speaks at VIFF. The world finds out he is a dumbass

23 - of August 2022. Harry Styles thinks gay sex is two men going at it. Reveals to the world the only time he’s probably ever touched another man’s penis for gay sex purposes is from wattpad stories. Continues to queerbait for lgbtq dollars. And just in case his fans find out he’s straight, doubles down on his toddler act, they’re the future buyers of his nail polish and sex toys

28 - his real age

45 - his facial age

3 - the number of hairs left on his head 🥚

Never ending - the number of times he larrybaits and queerbaits.

Unquenchable - his thirst for money

Immeasurable - his greed

20 - dollars for Gill’s sushi because a greedy motherfucker’s gotta do what a greedy motherfucker’s gotta do

2 - appears a lot on this list because Harry is a 2faced lying twat

The end.

VIFF 2022 Wraps Up With Excitement

VIFF 2022 Wraps Up With Excitement

In the past, you’d have to wait until late in November for my VIFF wrap-up blog. However this was one of those years I could only stay for half the Festival. I will get into my reason why I didn’t take in the full festival later in my blog. Anyways the Vancouver International Film Festival wrapped its 2022 Festival up on Sunday, October 9th. Just in time for people to have their Thanksgiving…
