Terrence Malick’s Badlands: Infamy as Constructed Narrative

LRR, March 30, 2026March 30, 2026

Written by: Aidan Srb I recently decided to revisit Badlands (1973), the first film in the career of legendary American filmmaker Terrence Malick. What at first appears to be Malick’s most straightforward film, at least in terms of narrative, turns out to be as strange and unwieldy as anything he’d make after, almost totally consumed by the wandering lyricism that would come to define his…

What About Tweez?

LRR, March 28, 2026March 27, 2026

Written by: Lyhan Maldonado There really isn’t much to say about Slint. Formed in 1986, (surprisingly) out of Louisville,Kentucky, the members of the band had already been involved in the local punk scene, andafter considering the size of their hometown, it isn’t shocking to know they would later spendhours in…

Making Magic from the Mundane: Masakatsu Takagi’s Marginalia Music Series

LRR, March 27, 2026

Written by: Elijah Polance Over spring break, I found myself in the biannual hassle of getting ready for the dentist. I was up earlier than I wanted to be to go off to a place that I didn’t want to be — a relatable feeling for many, I’m sure. As I was getting up, I saw a notification on my…

Interstellar: A Must-See Masterpiece

LRR, March 25, 2026March 16, 2026

Written by: Erika Echegoyen Last summer (2025), I saw Interstellar for the first time. I was at my friend’s house in New York, and we were sitting on her couch scrolling through movies on the TV while we set up a table of snacks. Top Gun: Maverick appeared on the screen, and I suggested we watch it. My friend hadn’t seen it, but she asked…

Past Lives Movie Review: On Inyeon, Memory, and Modern Love

LRR, March 23, 2026March 20, 2026

Written by: Kiara Korten Earlier this year I had the pleasure of watching Celine Song’s debut film Past Lives. Past lives follows Nora and Hae Sung, childhood friends separated when Nora’s family emigrated from South Korea, as they reconnect decades later and confront the emotional residue of a bond that never fully dissolved.  One of the ideas that struck me most in…

Kiki’s Delivery Service: Why Do We Create Art?

LRR, March 22, 2026March 22, 2026

Written by: Sofia Tas-Castro The first time I watched this film was last year when I was studying abroad in Tokyo, Japan. At the time, I hadn’t seen any of the Studio Ghibli Films (shocker, I know) before I arrived, but through the classes I was taking finally got exposed…

Language-Learning: On Being a Beginner

LRR, March 21, 2026

Written by: Margaret Devlin Earlier this year, one of my best friends left the U.S. to study in Spain. After “helping her pack” (read: sitting on her bed and distracting her), I stood on her doorstep, hugged her goodbye, and struggled to remember one of the most basic Spanish words:…

LRR, March 18, 2026March 7, 2026

Written by: Hannah Dang Walk into any MINISO, H-MART, any retail push-cart on the streets of Flushing, New York, and I guarantee you the song playing on the speakers is one by BTS.  Who is BTS? BTS is a Korean boyband consisting of seven members that debuted on June 13,…

Why I Created My Media Analysis Instagram Account

LRR, March 14, 2026

Written by: Temisan Ekperigin Like many people, I used my spare time during the pandemic to catch up on my backlog of anime. Over the course of a year, watching 26 episodes a day made most shows blend into one another. However, this was when my love of baseball blossomed,…
