Hulu’s making sure that the amorous mood of Valentine’s Day continues well into March 2022, debuting two of last year’s lustiest films—Radu Jude’s sexually explicit satire Bad Luck Banging Or Loony Porn and Paul Verhoeven’s randy lesbian nun drama Benedetta—to the platform. David Lynch’s Blue Velvet and Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides add a dreamy romanticism, while hyperkinetic The Raid 2 provides a different kind of kick (hey-oooo). And if you get too excited, there’s always Mass, about the parents of a teenager killed in a school shooting confronting the parents of the boy who pulled the trigger. That’s about as sobering of a cinematic cold shower as you can get.

The Square is a masterpiece…apart from some kind of problematic treatment of women including an Elizabeth Moss character…and that part is problematic but…well…funny. There is an alpha male vs. brainy male thing that is corny and old but…well…funny. The famous monkey scene is glorious, about how your brain can’t keep the terrible world at bay. The failure of intellectualism to sufficiently counter the troglodyte reality of the world…to some extent…with a stacked deck.I’ll watch Mass, but I’m worried it’s Carnage + We Need to Talk About Kevin, and both those movies were not as good as they should have been…and both miscast the same person terribly.
