Films in 2026
Film in 2026 has already had some emotional highlights with Project Hail Mary - a film I wound up crying throughout, but friendship defying time and space and species is a classic thing I wind up losing my mind over. Any film with a modicum of what I call - sincerity - is undeniably in my good books forever. Sincerity is after all almost a lost art form in film these days. Most films feel like a big corporate meeting of "if we put two attractive people in this film, it's considered a romantic comedy classic, right?" - instead of considering actual chemistry or storytelling or a lot of things. A film can be visually stunning and have a good soundtrack, but feel a bit empty. Of course, I do not think Wuthering Heights benefitted at all with me knowing the original story, despite having not read it since I was a disgruntled 16 year old who was horrendously disappointed that it wasn't in the vein of Jane Eyre. But the story has been adapted too many times to count...
