Notes from January, 2024

Film logged on January 1, 2024

The Curse

Nathan Fielder & Benny Safdie, 2023

The streaming era has been terrible for television in many ways. However, a show like The Curse wouldn't exist in any other era. A consistent background hum of discomfort highlights this part-parody, part-reflection of HGTV-esque reality, with scattershot yet brilliant critiques of gentrification, white savior complex, the camera gaze, and so much more.
