I purchased tickets to see this film the night i ended up giving birth to my little River, but saw it on Hulu last week. Beautiful and worth another watch.

Again, with this film, I’m not sure it is actually an indie film- Rian Johnson is a fairly well-known director since that Star Wars movie. But, he did start out as an indie filmmaker (and beloved...

I’ve enjoyed films by this director for many years now. Marriage Story is one of his best (granted, i haven’t seen everything) There are reasons this one was up for the Oscars. I don’t know if it...

Love Greta Gerwig! What a wonderful film. Still didn’t make it to 12 films in 2019 and wonder if i will in 2020, since I am 9 months pregnant!

---

I actually don’t know if this is an indie or a wide release film. I definitely saw it in a cozy second run theater for $5! Heart warming, no one left this theater without depositing a few tears. ...

I’ve seen many films by this Korean director- Bong Joon Ho, all of them good. This one is one of the most highly rated films of the year. It’s black comedy at its best, taking weird turns you cou...

I’m catching up on some of the movies i’ve seen lately. It’s month 11, almost 12, and i’m only at 9 movies this year. Gorgeous soundtrack. stunning cinematography. I highly recommend it. My ne...

I’ve had a complicated relationship with one of my partners, L, for quite a while. We first realized our attraction to one another almost a year ago, after a few summer dates between busy schedu...

---

Along with Her Smell, this is favorite so far in 2019. The music was phenomenal, the story magical (in its own way, not like magical realism), and i love the city of San Francisco. It was wonder...

Whip smart and hilarious! Highly recommended!

---

Best movie I’ve seen this year. Elizabeth Moss is amazing

---

I need to put words to what’s going on. I am thinking perhaps it will be in letter style, but unsent. For now, images. Haunted words, it seems You whispered to me, so close as we lay in bed, “We ...

This was a wonderful film: The poster said something like “Casablanca with a Kafka twist”

---

I am putting this in as indie film #2 because i can’t remember the first one i saw… wait, i remember! It was The Favorite! Ok, that’s up next. Minding the Gap was one of my favorite film podcaste...

Oooooh, if you love weird and quirky, you may like this Yorgos Lanthimos film (also known for The Lobster, which i really enjoyed)

Many years ago when Opendiary was in it’s original existence, i had an OD friend who used this phrase (with a quickness) and i loooooved it. I really appreciate a good turn of phrase. A highschoo...

and recurring stories (those pesky ways that life seems to play out all the time, you know when you tell yourself, this always happens) Another week of school left. Yikes. Generally there are thr...

May I be safe and free from harm May I be at ease in the mind and comfortable in the body May I live in peace May I investigate automatic assumptions and recurring stories May adverse experiences...

In 2018 i watched quite a few indie films that were based in and around the PNW, this is one of them. The beginning of the film is actually set and filmed in a part here in Portland. I loooooved ...

Well, at some point i stopped writing about what i saw. The end of my last school year was so stressful that i looked for and found a new teaching job with a different district. Here i am, many m...

Looks like on this day, four years in a row i am posting an entry. 2018 has brought a lot of activity in my life, but not a lot of writing. In the past that meant i was not reflecting as much as ...

---

I’ve been lucky to catch up with good films. This one is probably more well-known than many others i’ve posted. Wes Anderson is a fairly recognizable indie director, having directed The Grand Bu...

---

One of the best. Please watch it, if possible. Also. Devastatingly sad.

---

I can’t get this song out of my head. I am excited to see this artist, Dessa, in a couple weekends. The album, Chime, is my new favorite. I can’t wait to delve into her previous albums.

---

I loved this film, for many reasons. One, it’s filmed near the physical location of my heart (Washington State) by a local woman director, Lynn Shelton. Two, the music is perfect (Andrew Bird di...
