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…

NOTES REVIEW:
- Clint’s sons put mayo on their hot dogs. They got what they deserved.
- Really dig this low key opening of Tony and what’s her face hanging out, waiting to die.
- “I dream about you. Cuz it’s always you.” Killer line delivery. Downey needs to get some serious dramatic roles now that he’s done with the MCU. Dude’s got chops.
- “I lost the kid.” Jesus Christ, Downey.
- I love how emaciated they made Stark.…

Say what you will about the filmmaking choices, but the casting is just off-the-charts good. This also made for an interesting watch post Songbirds and Snakes.
Great concept, great execution, these movies are really good!

Great in its own right, and makes the ending of Zodiac work twice as well.
Cinema.

I go to the building that bookends the movie a lot.
God I miss New York so much.

This proved once and for all that adapting Watchmen was possible, and perhaps necessary, no matter what that grump Alan Moore says.
It also proved that the person tasked with adapting it needed to understand the story better than Snyder seems to here.
Maybe one day.

The Death of Michael Corleone
New cut, same problems. Sofia isn’t great and it needed Tom Hagen in the story. Fix those things and the coda likely would have been a bigger success. As is, it works fine.

Thrilled to report that this still wholly, completely, totally owns from start to finish.
Everyone is hot, the music bangs and this movies comedic sensibilities are off the charts great. Truly one of the most under-appreciated movies of the 2010’s.
We should be getting one of these every few years until the end of time, but alas, it flopped. Damn you all to hell.

An endlessly moving portrait of grief. It’s ridiculous that Portman lost the Oscar to Emma Stone, as great as she is.
Probably the biggest snub or whatever of the last decade.
