It started with a sniff. A whiff of a department store candle sometime between my search for a peacoat and a beanie that wouldn’t make me look like an old-timey burglar or an elf really into Fleet Foxes. It was different, a scent of something else...

If I can thank my literature degree for anything it is the ability (dare I say superpower?) to sniff out the big questions a film raises. I mean the heavy hitters, the existential-crisis-go-bug-eyed-in-the-shower thoughts that add a whole new dimension...
