The way you write about these movies makes me want to return to my film girl era, in particular Joy Ride because I'm stereotypical sad second gen Asian girl & I love movies about belonging.
Antalya looks absolutely gorgeous! Getting away to the sea is always lovely but somewhere like that just makes it even better. I hope you're doing better now.
What an interesting list of films and it's wonderful to see your thoughts on them especially after having watched them in a fairly short period of time. I was just talking to someone the other day about how badly I've neglected films from the 2020's and there's a lot here I've not even heard about not to mention the ones I've been putting off.
I love your thoughts on 'Joy Ride' and its grasp on the idea of belonging (and your own, of course). I did hear about that one but only for its fun and excess, so it's exciting to hear there's more to it than that. I've only More films should go back to doing fun things with their end credits and I'll honestly have to watch 'Medusa Deluxe' just to see the cast dancing.
I hope you get the chance to see it! I know it's a popular destination but I was surprised as to how much Antalya has to offer beyond the usual cliché of "beach". Oh yes, thankfully much better! Though I still have a nasty cough.
I'm way opposite, I never get around to classics because I'm always like "alright, so what's everyone been into recently" hahaha. I do want to change that truth be told. The movies here are really like... I don't wanna say niche, but they aren't as promoted as the usual superhero dreck? I honestly think Britain has been knocking it out of the park with the movies they fund though. I haven't mentioned it here but movies like "Of An Age" and "Blue Jean" are among my favorite watches of this year for sure. Not to mention "Rye Lane"! And "Medusa Deluxe" has such a unique setting to boot. Oh yeah, that dance had me squeal, so, so much fun.
