When Marianne rubbed a cloth to destroy the first portrait of Héloïse, I knew this film was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I loved how expressive both actors were—their gazes, their nuances, and the way they delivered each line... If I may borrow Jane Austen’s words, this film has truly pierced my soul. All the eroticism is steeped in consent.
I also loved the setting: the eerie mansion by the beach, perched on a cliff, was the perfect backdrop for a passionate story I could only imagine and dream of. I felt everything through this movie and adored how both actors flirted and argued until they could no longer speak or touch each other.
Sighhhh... I could talk about this film all day. Another sighhhh... I’m truly moved and have recommended it to my closest friends as a must-watch.
After my first viewing, I can say this movie has left a lasting mark on me and has taken a significant part of my heart. ARGH—I'm in love with this movie!

Céline Sciamma’s queer feminist period drama about two wammin passing the Bechdel test in the Age of Patriarchy gets a thumbs up from me. I watched this movie on the plane and it’s common knowledge that flying makes you emotional/horny, which might explain why it left such a lasting impression.This film has everything you could possibly want: lesbians, nudity, costumes, art history references, vision — all while maintaining an uncharacteristic degree of restraint and not going too hard on the political statements. The casual absence of men for the most part is a nice touch. I’d even go so far as to say that it’s up there in my hall of fame, along with Harold Pinter and Joseph Losey’s The Go-Between, Peter Greenaway’s The Draughtsman’s Contract and Alain Corneau’s All the Mornings of the World. The only thing that would’ve made it better in my opinion is if they delivered on all the threats of self-immolation in the end, but endings are something that filmmakers historically seem to struggle with, so next.

Ari Aster is like a friend you seldom see, but when he shows up, he reminds you why you chose him as your person.
Beau Is Afraid is a collection of postcards you never wanted to receive—yet you did. Each one is from a journey that’s good, bad, and, honestly, indifferent.
This movie is a cathartic release, a relapse, and a nervous laugh. Unapologetic, satirical, and truly toxique—practically useless!
Though Beau Is Afraid is drenched in chaos, it remains committed to its purpose: to make you see and say the things you've always wanted to express.
Ari Aster had no filters—and then decided to consume the last bit of poise you as an audience had left. This movie is a dump of weirdly familiar scenarios.
With Ari Aster, it’s always a dream, a coma, and a selective amnesia.
Well played, AA.

A new player in the coffee scene, but a really good one.
It offers creatively flavored fixes and two bean options: BOSS and LYDIA. Plus, it's affordable. Not to mention its sleek brand colors and catchy taglines.
Everything is on point.
This has definitely become one of my favorites. I hope they expand soon.

Probably the best episode of PBB-PH to date.
Politics at its finest.
When you're an open book, a smiler, a conversation starter — totoo ka.
But when you're quiet, guarded, and shy — fake ka.
Well, it is what it is. Just captured on camera.
