Bottoms- indie film #3 in Indie Film 2024
If you love dark comedy and satire, please watch this! I wouldn’t say it is like Heathers, but it has that over-the-top quality about it. This movie is a little like Barbie in that it is communic...

Barbie (indie film #9) in Indie Film 2023
I know it’s not an indie film, but I’ve been watching Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig movies for years. I purposefully didn’t really know anything about this movie before I went into it and I foun...

In the vein of Christopher Guest (this is Spinal Tap, a mighty wind, etc.), theater camp is a delightful comedy for all of us drama freaks.

Here I am, trying out a semi-regular post. I think i’ve been feeling the wellbutrin. My sleep is heavier. I feel a little more centered. Today I have a headache, all day. Also, i feel sick, so th...

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris- indie film #7 in Indie Film 2023
I’d forgotten that I watched this delightful movie a month or so ago. I am not actually sure if it is an independent film. Either way, it made me happy and it will do the same for you :)
Tar- indie film #6 in Indie Film 2023
I finally caught up with Tar- and WOW that ending was intense. I had to read a little about people’s perspectives to get a idea of what (perhaps) was going on. Here is the trailer-

White Noise (indie film #3) in Indie Film 2023
I am definitely caught up on indie films now! The director of this movie, Noah Baumbach, also directed Marriage Story (up for Oscars a few years ago). I tend to like his movies, but they are a c...
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (indie film #2) in Indie Film 2023
So far I have been able to keep up with watching one indie film per month. Streaming and only working part time really helps. For February, I watched Pinnocchio.... in parts and pieces unfortunat...
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (indie film #1) in Indie Film 2023
A film from 2022, but I am not to worried about that. I will be catching up with indie films I’ve missed as well as trying to see new ones. A heart warming 90 minute film! If you want an uplift, ...
