Hey Seth, I’ve recently started joining a friend every fall at the Hamptons film festival. This year we saw Hamnet, Sentimental Value, and The Mastermind. Try to see the last one on the theater if you can. It’s a sleeper of a movie that packs quite a punch. It’s definitely not for everyone but for those of us with latent Marxist tendencies, it doesn’t disappoint.
Thanks for the good recommendations. We are already planning to see Sentimental Value this weekend, and I'll keep my eyes out for The Mastermind especially.
I really loved that movie too- for the way it traces the roots of generational trauma within a family. A tribute to Bergman- It is to family what scenes from a marriage was to couples.
My top ten of 2025:
1. Sinners
2. One Battle After Another
3 Marty Supreme
4 F1 The Movie
5. The Perfect Neighbor
6. The Phoenician Scheme
7. The Smashing Machine
8. If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
9. Frankenstein
10. Cutting Through Rocks

That's a great list, Jonathan. Thanks for sharing.
