🍿 Happy #LetterboxdFriday!

Two "OK" movies, two good docs among my #LastFourWatched.

I recommend watching THE NEST on a big screen. The NFB documentary about the matriarchal history of a Winnipeg mansion is chock-full amazing props that are hard to spot on a small screen. #LetterboxdFriday

🍿 Critic's Picks: NECHAKO, screening at Victoria's

I currently have a trial apple tv account, so no new films added to the #LastFourWatched list.
I binged Seth Rogen's THE STUDIO, it's fantastic. Couldn't find it on Letterboxd to log it.

The Stand In the fall of 1985, a small group of Haida people stood on a muddy logging road on Lyell Island—and refused to move. What followed was a landmark …

🌲 40 years ago today, the Haida Nation made a stand to protect their land.

Drawn from more than a hundred hours of archives, without present-day interviews, Christopher Auchter's documentary reveals a hidden true story of peaceful Indigenous resistance.
