ANTI-CAPITALISM ARC movie 4
KAJILLIONAIRE (2020)
March 22, 2026
We just read the wildly unpredictable and deeply emotionally honest Miranda July novel All Fours in my book club, so I’ve been really looking forward to revisiting her third and most recent movie, 2020’s Kajillionaire. The story of two low-stakes con artists training their daughter in the “family business,” this strange comedy feels at times like it will be overwhelmed by its quirkiness, but I remember seeing it in the theater and being gradually won over both by its humor and its pathos.
Richard Jenkins, Debra Winger (where has she been?), Gina Rodriguez and Evan Rachel Wood fully commit to (former Portland riot grrrl) July’s vision, and sell both the laughs and the redemption arc of the emotionally stunted Old Dolio (yes, that the name of Wood’s character). This feels like an offbeat companion piece to the excellent Kore-eda movie Shoplifters, which we watched last year in this same arc. It’s a unique delight, hope you can make time to watch it.
“Funny, poignant and ultimately triumphant, "Kajillionaire” is a precarious balancing act, one that July pulls off with astute writing, careful staging and trust in her actors.“ -Washington Post [4 stars]

Just started watching this series and it’s got great production values. It’s the best show I’ve seen from Nick in about 30 years. I would’ve liked it more if they’d picked a lead actress who didn’t mumble all her damn lines.
The first episode of this Yellowstone continuation, although it didn’t set the world alight creatively, ended up getting the highest viewing figures for a drama so far this year and earnt an early review for a second season. Fortunately, this must mean the Yellowstone faithful have moved onto this show as the reliance on references to the flagship may be making any newcomers feel a bit lost. The…
