New Movies I'm Excited About (short post)

Short post today since I’m way behind on my podcast editing to-do… I'm really thrilled to see two movies this weekend: Widows - directed by Steve McQueen, and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs - the new western anthology film by the Coen Brothers. It’s been a long time, it feels like, that I’ve been earnestly pumped up to see some films just because I know the filmmakers are so good and unique. No reviews necessary, no word of mouth. Just knowing they exist is enough to get me excited. Shortly down the line, Roma by Alfonso Cuaron will fit in the same category. Sometimes I feel this way about TV shows but in this stratified, crystallizing movie-verse there’s a lot less diversity readily accessible within the film medium. So, I’ll take it where I can get it!
