Celine Song’s "Materialists" Delivers a Wallop, but at a Cost | Psychology Today

Film adds perspective to our shared love journey

Hi all,

Happy Juneteenth! And will try to post my Democracy Summer week 3 article later today.

But first, new post up at Psychology Today, a film review of Materialists by Past Lives’ director Celine Song.

Materialists took a night to fully ripen in my conscience, as my mind cooled from its inflammation of old, persistent wounds, and then appreciated the subliminal and sublime artistry of emotions evoked and then held in contemplation and compassion. Materialists has that whole ‘next day cortex' energy. You’ll understand when you’re 12 hours older.
