I'm doing a wee bit of research into films about food so I woke up extra early to watch Like Water for Chocolate. I think I did anyway, the movie kinda passed me by as if I was in a fever dream. I was super on board for the magical realism at the beginning but it lost all momentum by the second half. But you got to hand it toexican filmmakers, they know how to make something explosively emotional and allegorical.
Seeing as it was Pi day too (03.14, hohoho), it felt apt to watch Waitress, a movie that concerns itself mostly with pies. This one was much more watchable while dripping with mid-life crisis revelations and that cosy early 2000's small town comedy feeling. It's a cult classic with the heart of an angel.
