In addition to the stuff below, I have a few things in progress: the second season of Russian Doll, Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks, and I just started dipping into Rebecca Woolf’s forthcoming memoir, All of This. Oh, and I’m listening to Russell Shorto’s The Island at the Center of the World on audiobook and the third season of Michael Lewis’ Against the Rules podcast. All always, don’t sweat the letter grades too much.Įverything Everywhere All at Once.
#REBECCA PACKER MOVIE#
This movie is a little bit of a miracle: action, comedy, heartfelt, and a little bit of a mess, all together in a perfect balance. This is the best movie I’ve seen in ages. I’m going to miss spending time in this world with these people. Was delighted and moved by this work of historical fiction about Marie de France. I loved the slow burn and resolution of this show.
#REBECCA PACKER TV#
I didn’t think I wanted to watch a TV show about a flu pandemic causing the end of civilization, but it was actually perfect. Every director is entitled to their Rashomon I guess? And I’m not sure Matt Damon was the right choice here… (B) Both actresses who played Kirsten were fantastic.
