The holdovers (2023) is a Christmas movie for those that understand how inherently sad and yet joyful of a holiday Christmas is. It’s about being slammed with the memories of all those that are not with you to celebrate, the loneliness of having to one to celebrate with, and the impending end of another year to remind you what you haven’t done - it is also an opportunity to spend time with family and friends and to reach out to the people in your life and make those connections, and the beginning of a new year another chance to do all of those things you had been meaning to do.

Y'all!! It's the painting from the Cafe scene in Goncharov (1973)! It's the one you can see over Goncharov's shoulder when Ice Pick Joe is wrapping up leftovers for the cats. I found it in an antique shop the other day, and at first I couldn't figure out why it was so familiar.

On the one hand it sucks that the artist is unknown, but on the other hand it's so fitting to have the shot dominated by the work of an anonymous artist when Goncharov is caught up in the peculiar realization that he knows very little about Joe as a person. That flash of Joe's characterization beautifully underlines the fact that we know so little about Goncharov's inner life that it's easy to wonder if there's anything there to know. I'm so curious if that was a deliberate choice or if it was just a bit of serendipitous set-dressing.

truly exhausted of “”feminist”” films that don’t even really say anything revolutionary or even explore basic issues in depth and instead rely on 2013 tumblr esque dialogue to make a movie that feels hollow and removed from any subtlety or nuance because it’s too busy throwing basic statements at you like a hand grenade and almost play into these ideas of strawmen and make characters feel less like people and more like caricatures. but then because the film is so heavily based on this idea of being “”feminist”” any criticism is written off as just “hating women” because apparently film criticism dies whenever the movie is supposedly some feminist piece of art. a movie being by women and about women doesn’t inherently make it good and if all you’re doing is providing a more sanitised version of a movie that was made ten, twenty, fifty years ago then your stories are not only bland but also unoriginal.
