Thanks for the review. Much appreciated. I wish you would do more film reviews on a regular basis. Even capsule reviews would be fine with me. It's nice to have a Catholic perspective, especially from a reputable Catholic film reviewer like you.
I miss these reviews, man. I really do. As a former movie buff, Decent Films was how I first got into your writing. You're still my favorite film critic ever. Since you mentioned Spider-Verse twice in this review, I feel justified in asking if you're going to finish your Marvel multiverse articles or are they officially an abandoned project? I'm hoping for at least one more.
There are definitely at least TWO more installments in the “Crisis of Meaning” series coming, Christopher—but it may be awhile. One of them is mostly written already, but it isn’t the next one, and now that I’m back in school I’m looking for ways to get up content without doing tons of writing. So the “Crisis of Meaning” pieces are coming … slowly …
I’m afraid I found The Boy and the Heron disappointing, Isaiah, as I feared I would. No, I have not written about it. I am trying to think of a way of working it into some kind of larger piece.
Such a great movie! Just saw it the other night. My name is Samuel Morales and I co-run another Substack called ‘100 Movies Every Catholic Should See’ (100catholicmovies.substack.com) and we just started a podcast, our most notable guest of late was the great Whit Stillman. We would love to have you on at some point!

Thanks, Edwin. I do hope to get back to doing more film writing at some point!

P.S. Thanks so much for your kind words, Christopher! It means a lot to me.

Nice! I wasn’t sure what this movie would turn out to be.
By the way, did you ever review Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron” anywhere? I’d like to get your thoughts.
