Series: 2022: Year in Film

Enchanted is a very special movie to me.

A few years ago, my wife and I watched a bunch of the Hallmark Christmas movies released that year.

If I told you that I was going to make a movie set in the early 20th century in which a large boat hits an iceberg and sinks, you’d say, “oh, like Titanic?”

In the episode of Game of Thrones entitled “The North Remembers,” the characters Littlefinger and Cersei Lannister argue about the nature of power.

Whereas most nostalgia-tinted, autobiographical coming-of-age films are deeply sentimental, Armageddon Time is bleak, bordering on nihilistic.

The audacity of that runtime.

Stop motion, despite its fussiness and limitations, is one of the most expressive forms of film.

Mickey Saves Christmas is neat, but is that the bar we want to aim for?

You may as well call it Nepo Baby: The Movie.
