I watched just three movies last week.

- There was a moment when I worried that No One Will Save You was just going to be its central gimmick—which I won’t spoil, but which is evident fairly quickly. But it does some clever things with that, has a good lead performance by Kaitlyn Dever, and is a lot of fun.
- Landscape with Invisible Hand is much blacker comedy than the trailer led me to believe, a lot bleaker in the pointed things it has to say about capitalism. But it’s also often very smart and funny.
- Even if Jules doesn’t quite stick the landing, it’s a fun and silly ride, with some touching moments along the way and good performances all around.
I also re-watched Don’t Look Now—which doesn’t really fit the alien theme of the rest of the week, but which is still drowned in creepiness and atmosphere, even when you know where it’s headed.
