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…
It says ‘stay.’
In prep for daddy’s eventual 11th film, as well as a farewell to my beloved apartment in Manhattan, I came into this watch ready to cry. I did.
I’m not going to argue that this is Nolan’s tightest film, or even his best, but I will die on the hill that to date, it is the movie that best encompasses his skills as a storyteller. And it’s just great to see him make a movie as good…
Hundreds if not thousands of dorks that were under the age of 16 (myself included) when The Dark Knight came out are vindicated in their obsession.
Incredible movie, Ludwig Göransson is a god among men.
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!
I love every thing about this… except the script.
Over two hours of mystery, creepy clues and suspicion and the big reveal is that the most famous mafioso in Batman lore is… exactly who he was in Batman Begins and The Long Halloween, his two most famous appearances.
I’m just confused about how Reeves expected us to react to all of this, and viewing it through the lens of someone not as plugged into the Batman lore, is a mafia…
Christened my first apartment with one of the best movies ever made.
Grade: 10/10
A wonderfully searing indictment of capitalism.
Sell. Sell. Sell. Sell. Sell.
Operators are standing by. They always are.
If we want to talk about directorial hot streaks, you can't do much better than Looper, The Last Jedi and Knives Out.
Not a doubt in the world Rian will make it 4 in a row with whatever it ends up being.
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.
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…
Marty Scorsese gives a guided tour through a level of hell Dante couldn’t anticipate in his dizziest daydream.
Wolf, Fight Club and probably Joker all belong in the Half of the Audience Missed The Point Hall of Fame, which I have decided is a thing.
