Happy Valentine’s Day!

In movie news: Last weekend, Anora won (in a bit of an upset) the Critics Choice Award and Producers Guild Award for Best Picture. Additionally, Sean Baker won Best Director at the Directors Guild Awards. That firmly sets everyone’s favorite escort-turned-wifey as the frontrunner at the Oscars. You can read my gushing review here.

Today we’re recommending two streaming movies about different kinds of love: romantic and friendship. Plus, a review of Apple TV+’s new science fiction romance The Gorge.

With love,
Karl & Ana ❤️

Streaming on Hulu

Fire of Love

Today’s first romantic recommendation is for Sara Dosa’s Oscar-nominated documentary Fire of Love.
