Did you all happen to catch the LAOFCS First Half of the Year awards? I helped contribute to the list, but I wanted to share with you all my personal picks. If you head over to my Letterboxd, you can see the movies I have seen this year. I’ve got a ton to catch up on but I have to say that I am hoping and praying the second half of the year is strong movie-wise cause this first half…a mess. Anyways, I tried to approach these with a clear eye and pick things I thought were interesting, which is why you’ll see a movie I was iffy on getting a good number of awards (that’s Hereditary btw). Here’s to the second half of the year!
