As I start to go back a few years in this series, it's starting to irritate me to be reminded of good debut or breakthrough films and then realize that Darius Marder and Lulu Wang and Kitty Green and Andrew Patterson haven't directed a feature since 2019. It's also pretty bittersweet to remember that I watched The Last Black Man In San Francisco and immediately said "I hope Jonathan Majors gets a lot of roles off this movie," real monkey's paw situation there.
