Wonderfully complex animated film. Best Animated Feature Film Oscar by a long shot. No one but Miyazaki’s work and a few Pixar and Laika films are the same league.

Movie ***+ Green Book (2018)

Totally deserving of its Best Picture Oscar and Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Mahershala Ali. Vigo Mortenson had my vote for Best Actor at the time, but I had yet to see Bohemian Rhapsody and Rami Malek’s work.

Mushrooms and blackberries.

Don’t eat any of these, even the red blackberries.
