people who don’t cry over paddington are the weaker species and will be taken by natural selection

that part where Paddington cures that man's depression by just cleaning his windows and letting the sun come in? that's what happens to me when I watch anything involving this little bear.

I feel like people joke about this movie’s progressive prison politics with a wink, suggesting they weren’t an intentional/thoughtful choice for this children’s movie, but there’s a part where the warden is reading a bedtime story over the loudspeaker and only reads the line “It turns out the monster wasn’t such a monster after all.” A very clear notion that, it is intentional! And maybe the entire point! That prisoners being kind, misunderstood humans as deserving of respect and luxury…

I was gonna give it a 9/10 but that last shot before the credits...fuck it 10/10. It may not be the single greatest movie ever made, but I can think of nothing else that deserves the title of "best-reviewed film of all time" more than this.

perfect film.

a MAGIC MIKE XXL-level delight (my highest recommendation).

obviously a refutation of Brexit, but naturally also such an imaginative, inclusive, open-hearted response to Trump's "shithole" mindset and xenophobia in general. My (sold out) NYC audience clapped during the credits… and then promptly shut the hell up as the brilliant final number kicked in.

also, this Paul King guy is a low-key master in the making. there are few "adult" filmmakers out there who couldn't learn something from how…

Sometimes little misunderstandings can lead to the grandest adventures – and the very best of friends.

Yeah, I just burst into tears at the sight of two animated bears hugging in a theater packed full of children.
