this whole movie wouldn’t have existed if jake had gotten his peanut M&M’s

Review by davidehrlich ½ 58

i *know* that art gets worse than DEMOLITION, but as i sat on my flight today and tried to make sense of what i just watched, i couldn't imagine how.
fuck this movie straight to hell.
beyond being terrible in every conceivable way, it's also bad in one pivotal respect of which i hadn't previously been able to conceive! everybody grieves in their own way (or *not really grieves,* as the case may be, here), but NOBODY, ever, in all of recorded time, has ever grieved (or *not really grieved,* as the case may be, here) like Jake G's character does in this movie. none of these people are human, they're inadvertent parodies of bad Fox Searchlight-era film types, and…

seeing jake gyllenhaal dance is something that can be so therapeutic
Review by tyler ★★★★

if i was hanging out with jake gyllenhaal as a kid i probably would've realized i was gay sooner too
Review by petra ❦ ★★½

men will literally tear their entire house down instead of going to therapy
Review by mulaney ★★★★½ 2

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

there was love between me and julia,
i just didn't take care of it.
Review by Collin Taylor ★★★★½ 5

I honestly loved Demolition.
And I honestly have no idea why.

I know why I liked it, but I have no idea why I loved it.
It's so much better than 95% of the mainstream bullshit we get now.
This is an extremely personal film about finding yourself.
Jake Gyllenhaal gives one of the best performances of 2016 so far.
This movie is special. It went in ways I didn't expect.
It's not cliché or forcibly heartfelt, it's a simple film, but complex at the same time.
The way this film gets into Gyllenhaal's character and in his head is spectacular.
You know what's he thinking, but the insanity and oddness flowing through his brain is so unpredictable.
That kid…
Review by frank ★★★ 1

Jake Gyllenhaal looks so hot destroying things and he deserves an Oscar for that
Review by Keith ★★★★ 5

Sometimes grief doesn't look like grief. And that's okay.
Just give Jake a fucking Oscar already. Preferably the one he deserved for Nightcrawler. But any one will do.
Review by nic ✮ ★★★★★ 4

“i’m starting to notice things i never saw before. maybe i saw them. i just wasn’t paying attention. for some reason, everything has become a metaphor.”

i’m not even gonna lie, watching this film is like free therapy for me. the way davis handles the death of his wife moves me greatly because it looks and feels so authentic. he doesn’t scream or cry or complain. he appears oddly unbothered, melancholic and factual, which feels almost uncomfortable at the beginning but is then explained later on. i know that there is still so much open to interpretation here that i would love to get into. so many of his experiences and thoughts are left untold. yet there’s something so compelling…
Review by 𝖏𝖊𝖉 ★★★★½ 3

i want jake gyllenhaal to be my cool impulsive dad but i also want him to pound me into the centre of the earth so i. am. conflicted.
