I’m not sure I’ll ever get over Ledger in this movie. Few “big” performances since have even come close to the level of immersion he got to here.
It’s the hair, the makeup, and the posture, but what sells it most for me is that damn voice.
How does an Australian make himself sound like that? What the hell did he even hear that set him on the course to get there? And how does he make it work so…
Add an extra 20 or 25 minutes here and there (especially that choppy-ish first act) and this is a perfect movie. As is, it's in the conversation.
I'm so happy that this exists.
Long live my sad spy daddies.
Coming up on eight years since it came out, looking at the letterboxd score as a crude but helpful gauge it seems Interstellar has settled in as the seminal sci-fi masterwork I’ve been championing it as from the start.
Nolan’s true masterpiece is as bold and ambitious (in scale, scope and emotion) as any movie that’s been released in the last twenty-something years. Interstellar marked the start of Nolan’s official challenge to Spielberg’s late 80s-early 2000s run where he had all…
Bigger, longer, deeper, meaner. As all sequels should be. Every time I watch this I’m blown away at how perfect it is, and how every choice made was the right one.
After watching this, part of me always wants to immediately run it back for round two.
The first movie I watched at my first New York apartment that I have all to myself. Yay!
This 4K transfer is unbelievable.
Add a little film grain and you’ve got yourself a perfect movie right here.
This probably sounds dumb given the 90+ years of great films, but V’s third murder is probably one of my 10 favorite scenes ever. The tenderness and the note it ends in just gives me chills everytime I watch it.
Literally was doing the Rick Dalton pointing thing the entire time. LA… see you again someday.
Bumping up to the Full Five, baby!
It probably won’t jump Django on my Tarantino list since it’s not as kinetic, but I think it might be Quentin’s best movie overall.
Like wine, QT gets better with age.
Pacino riffing about editors and not answering questions like the adorable old man he is?
Bob outright refusing to play along with anything in his life ever?
Some random guy they got instead of Mann?
A STUNNING 4k restoration?
Skull-crushing sound?
Catching at least three people writing their letterboxd reviews on the downtown A train after the screening?
Oh yeah, this ruled.
Might not ever get over that Falcone reveal and how clunky and lame it is in a movie that is otherwise perfect.
Part II soon, please!
