A textbook example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Cat and mouse thrillers are up there as one of my favorite sub genres, and this one ranks up with the best of them thanks to Justin Kurzel's steady hand, rock-solid performances and crisp visuals.
The pacific northwest is having a moment in film! Please keep those tax breaks coming, because I need more rivers, forests and lakes and less deserts at the movies.
If you liked this, give Oliver Stone's Talk Radio a watch!
These movies are a terrific resource for all of us to understand what’s happening in our own minds as well as others. Might be the last justified Pixar sequel for a while, let’s all try to enjoy it.
I have to admit I liked but didn't love the first half (an inverse of my experience with Dune) and then Austin Butler came on-screen and took part in a monochrome gladiator match to destroy the remains of a rival house under a dying black star and from there...... it had me. I would do so many crimes for Denis if he asked me to.
The guy is on the heater of all heaters with Dune: Part Two and as…
Gets into Oscar Bait Weepy territory a little bit, but manages to pull those moments off pretty seamlessly. Durkin keeps the pace moving despite knowing where it’s all going, and treats the characters with a tender hand. As with all great sports movies, it would have been just as effective if it were hockey, baseball, etc.
Really impressed with this.
Stunning in its simplicity, an aesthetic dream, a real deal Christmas classic.
Not much more I could have ever asked for.
Awwwwwwww HEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Gareth Edwards. You beautiful, beautiful man.
I suppose the script isn't the best thing I have ever seen, but there are movies you listen to, and there are movies that you experience. This is a movie I experienced. I won't remember a trope in three days, but I sure as hell will remember when the opening melody to that Radiohead song kicked in.
I just couldn't help but get caught up in the scale, ambition and beautiful…
Gretaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
What was on the screen was the second most entertaining thing I saw in the theater this morning at a packed 10:15am screening on a Saturday.
The most entertaining thing was the two women sitting next to me having the time of their lives. Plenty of snacks, dancing in their seats, just overall being psyched. So wholesome and fun.
Of course this was a delight, and Greta's firing from all cylinders (including a perfectly timed haymaker directed towards a…
It’s wild when you actually watch something of this magnitude in pop culture, because you get exposed to all that people don’t talk about, as well as The Memes.
For example, I had absolutely no idea that Kathy Bates was in this, so when she showed up I legit shrieked with delight. Now I understand why this made $2 billion. You just had to go back for more Bates.
And while I’ll take it to my grave that T2 and…
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.
I am fully in a whodunnit mode thanks to Glass Onion so of course I ate this the hell up.
Saorsie Ronan deserves the world.
