Kirsten Dunst's ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด. Something about plants or some shit idek, trees haven't made this little sense since ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ but by God would you *look* at it? At its best unbelievably emotive and ethereal, you could even call it fragile by the way its temperamental existence unendingly slips in and out of consciousness. At its worst the same mopey, stupid, meandering indie trappings that A24 had an intolerable fetish for that year but still done wildly better than the likes of shittier 2017 fare such as ๐˜ˆ ๐˜Ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜บ, ๐˜๐˜ต ๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ˆ๐˜ต ๐˜•๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต, and ๐˜“๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜—๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ. Kind of wish this just dropped the subpar 10% of a story that leeches onto the otherworldly artistic bouts of pot-fueled dainty chaos but it honestly doesn't get in the way too much. Too many gorgeous frames to even count. Spent the last half hour of this with watery eyes and mouth agape not only for its sheer beauty, sheer singularity in spite of genre trope reusage... but for how commandingly it bats for the fences and doesn't let up even a little bit. Not concerned for a second about being coherent or restrained at all beyond one feature length bad, trippy, fully immersive high. Pretty much a live action Nicole Dollanganger music video.

When well-laid plans for college went awry, twenty-year-old Remi took it in stride. With events beyond her control taking place and familial responsibility to fulfill, she did the best she could and waited patiently for her turn.
Now, two years later and back on track, albeit a little later than sheโ€™d hoped, things are finally looking up. That is until an unforeseen circumstance arises. A flooding in her dorm building has put her into a unique situation that could be just the push she needs to take a chance on the up-and-coming football star that has taken a serious interest in her.
With elements from her past coming back for round two, will Remi be able to juggle it all?
Find out in this first installment of the Remington Carter Series.


I was a not sure Iโ€™d enjoy this but I ended up really liking it. Itโ€™s very straight forward and slightly predictable but itโ€™s a very good base and well written. Main character is likeable and not annoying which is a good start! For the the first book in the series itโ€™s promising.

"This 1948 film is a classic Italian neorealist film that takes place in postโ€“World War II Italy. It is a beautifully told and photographed story about a close relationship between a father, Antonio, and his young son, Bruno, who idolizes his father. As the story opens, Antonio is desperately searching for work and finally gets a job posting signs. In order to do this job, he must have a bicycle. His wife, Maria, pawns her wedding sheets to buy him a bicycle, but it is stolen on the first day of his new job. The rest of the film, father and son pursue the thieves to get the bicycle back. They fail. In the end, Antonio is forced to steal a bicycle so he will not lose his job. Bruno witnesses this and Antonio is humiliated in front of his son. For me, the film was about the ultimate and heartbreaking betrayal of trust between a father and his son. Iโ€™ve always photographed families and family relationships. This wonderful film encouraged me to look beyond the surface and find the real relationships that exist between family members. The epic quality of the film was a great inspiration for me."
