The Starlight Film Journal: February 2025

It took us two months, but hey I can actually talk about films that released this year now.

January for me was a month of catching up on releases I didn’t get to catch last year, a lot of which being award contenders, with a mini Ryan Gosling marathon smack dab in the middle of the month as the cherry on top. That in itself, counts as a moment of healing. As January…
