This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I guess every Spielberg movie I watch, new or old after this will be spent understanding it in the context of The Fabelmans.
Divorced parents, a kid running off to live a fantastical life in a bunch of different worlds, all in the pursuit of making what’s broken whole again. There’s something there.
Oh and John Williams cranking out his best score of all time. Legend.
Good shit. The best shit. I hope Spielberg buries us all.

I was high off an edible through this whole movie.
Even if I wasn’t I might still be saying this is the most overwhelmingly beautiful made film of all time.

This dips a little when it gets into plot stuff and moves away from bathouse hijinks, but still what a goddamn picture.

One of the sturdiest blockbusters of recent memory, and having read the graphic novel, I am confident in saying it told that story better by being a smidge more digestable.

Gah this is so good.
I suppose by this time next year we’ll at least know who the next Bond is, which will be a very strange feeling. Until then I’ll just keep imagining different realities where Danny Craig’s incarnation plays out a little smoother, like so:
1. Casino Royale - 06
2. Quantum of Solace -08
3. Skyfall - 12
4. One-off Bond Adventure - 15
5. Spectre - 18
6. No Time to Die - 21
It’ll always…

Despite his reputation for darkening the Batman films, I think this is Nolan at his most grim.
There’s no heroes to be found, just two dudes who despise each other and will stop at nothing to crush the other, no matter who’s soul is annihilated in the process.
In short: this movie is fucking sick. Read that emphasis however you choose.

That first third still needs about 10 extra minutes to breathe, but man, from the interrogation scene to Alfred consoling Batman is one of the greatest stretches of any of these things. For whatever reason, Joker switching Rachel & Harvey's locations really impacted me more on this watch than it ever had before. Such a perfect, cruel twisting of the knife.
But as I get older and see this country lose its mind more and more every day, Nolan’s perspective on…

Every scene is meaningful. Every shot is gorgeous. Every decision is the right one.
It’s a masterpiece. Thank you, Denis Villeneuve.

Once again I am banging the drum that Rian Johnson is the most gifted storyteller in the movies right now. He knows how they move, what we’re expecting and how to defy those expectations in the most exciting of ways.
Glass Onion now please.
