bringing back the letterboxd film roundup, something i did a few years ago but never continued because i wasn’t that consistent with it. here i’ll share the films i’ve watched each month (17 in january), post my super unserious reviews, and a rating so you know if i liked them or not. every film i’ve seen in the cinema this year will get its own review, as well as any film that receives a perfect rating. those will be linked below as well. if you’re interested in film recommendations, please follow us on letterboxd. without further ado, lets get into it!
