2018 Catch-Up

My blogging has obviously become infrequent, so I'm posting here mostly for history's sake.  The gap in time has also given me lots of time to reevaluate my choices!

Overall, tons of movies I really really liked, but few that will make my best of decade list.

3. Roma
4. Private Life
