Welcome back to What I Logged on Letterboxd! Apologies for the delay — my family and I lost my grandmother and everything else in my life seemed to pause for a moment. But I’m back! Let’s get into it.
April 9th: The Worst Person in the World (2021): 3/5
Available to stream on: Digital rental
You know the feeling when you’re watching something and think to yourself, “This feels pretentious”? Yeah, that’s how I felt while watching this. I was originally super excited to check out what the hype was about — I was especially excited to see Renate Reinsve‘s performance. And while her performance was great, her talent seemed wasted on this script. Overall, I found the whole film to be a bit dull. I could tell that the screenwriters really felt like they did something, but whatever they were doing didn’t land for me.
April 14th: Onward (2020): 3.5/5
Available to stream on: Disney+
Man, this was cute! I loved the voice performances from the cast, especially Tom Holland as Ian. I do see why people may have not loved it — the plot was a little thick for a Pixar film. But I genuinely enjoyed it and definitely shed a few tears towards the end. Check this out if you haven’t yet.
April 15th: Shrek (2001): 4.5/5
Available to stream on: Hulu or Netflix
Can you tell I was going through it this particular week? I needed a comfort film this night, and boy did Shrek deliver. I watched this so much growing up that every scene felt familiar to me. The only thing that stuck out to me on this rewatch was just how MEAN Shrek is to Donkey. Frankly, Shrek doesn’t deserve Donkey’s friendship. But that’s neither here nor there.
And that was it for this week! Thank you for tuning in to this edition of What I Logged on Letterboxd. Make sure to leave any watch suggestions down in the comments.
