“dying isn’t everything, you know”
One of the best portrayals of the duality of eros and the freudian death drive.

This kinda fell flat.
Too much exposition and bad writing came too hard too fast and ruined it.
There were moments with Nic Cage’s character that felt like you were having a panic attack.
I don’t ever wanna see his face again.

Colossal.

The first 10 minutes of this movie is one of the funniest things i’ve ever watched

Someone on twitter said that this movie isn’t about Leonard Bernstein, it’s about Bradley Cooper playing Leonard Bernstein, and I think that sums this up perfectly

A more parasitic and repugnant underclass character than the movie this director is very obviously trying to emulate.
It really does bother me when movies that are shot beautifully, well directed and well acted, have a script about class struggle that has absolutely no fucking clue what it’s trying to say. On one hand it shows a incredible amount of naivety and pomposity among the wealthy characters, then at the same time paints them as victims and we’re supposed to be “shocked” at Olivers actions like the movie wasn’t clearly showing us all along that he’s not to be trusted.
There’s no twist here, there’s no message about class struggle. We leave the movie believing that the underclass of society (nevermind you that Oliver is definitely upper middle class and well off) are vampires that secretly hate and want to kill you if you’re better off then them. This movie has the same substance as a low-budget slasher film.
Barry Keoghan was amazing though. His eyes replicate a threat, as if everything about him is normal but something inhuman behind his eyes.

Great and authentic, but this felt like a 6 hour movie.

This movie is very laid back and chill and then the final 3 minutes are one of the most disturbing things you’ll see in a film. Bleak.

Like Icarus, he dreamt his entire life of combining beauty and action and changing the world before his final breath, just to be ridiculed and shouted over his final words. Flew too close to the sun and came crashing down.
