Champions

This was the mystery movie, and I think it's a movie I would have steered a little clear of otherwise, because I'm generally distrustful of Hollywood's representations of people with disabilities, especially in movies that feature a non-disabled star actor surrounded by a group of disabled people. To its slight credit, Champions is aware of the pitfalls and acknowledges within the movie that "Is this exploitative?" is a question that anyone making a film like this needs to ask. To its greater credit, Champions is a warm movie that does an excellent job of individuating and characterizing its Special Olympians, and making the film as much about their victories as about Woody Harrelson's victories. I cannot speak as someone with huge experience with people with intellectual disabilities, but I enjoyed the film.

This was SO MUCH and I loved it. The dancing, the fighting, the animals, the bromance, everything was delightfully maximalist. I really enjoyed the depiction of the British, it felt appropriately over-the-top for a movie that goes over the top in every way, but it stayed within bounds where you remembered that the British probably really did almost everything they depict, albeit possibly with a little less mustache twirling. A little girl next to me in the aisle, perhaps eight or so, got up during "Naatu Naatu" to dance along and it was adorable, this was such a fun movie experience in every way.

I wish I'd been aware enough to catch this last year, but I'm glad I was able to see it in a theater, it definitely felt like a movie that worked better on a big screen.

The Fabelmans

Jews Dance in this Movie.

Like, seriously, Michelle Williams dancing in this movie made me want to make another Jews dancing vid. Whew.
