Booksmart, Cousins shows how cinema has broadened its horizons, telling a wider range of stories from a more inclusive group of filmmakers than before. That can only be a good thing for cinema, but it also presents Cousins with a minor obstacle. Part of the joy of his film essays on cinema is seeing the breadth of his knowledge on cinema history and how he has championed directors, especially women, who the mainstream ignored and forgot. Now he s starting to talk about an era where the mainstream has begun to mirror his taste, which has made it much harder for Cousins to showcase unheralded talents and provide hot takes on overlooked films. The new essay is full of movies that played well at film festivals, with most dropping at Cannes. There are fewer surprising choices.
