eat your heart out christopher nolan because this is how you make a movie that fucks with time and reality
just an absolutely heartbreaking film from beginning to end. belongs in a very small group of movies that i don’t think i could bring myself to watch again. i really don’t know what else there is to say? anthony hopkins deserves the world.
You know when you see someone blow into a balloon when it's already pretty big, and you're like "whoa! that thing's gonna pop!" and then you stop paying attention for a bit and you come back and it's even bigger and you're like "jesus it's still going?" and then every time you come back to it you've stopped being impressed by how big it's able to go and your heart starts to beat real fast because you're afraid it's going to explode any second? That's how I feel about Anthony Hopkins aging.
Great actor, great movie! Honestly one of the scariest films I have seen in a while. Plays from Hopkins's perspective like a slo-mo psychological thriller, which is the…
florian zeller really said i'm gonna cast the best actors and make them give their best performances until the viewers cry into their stupid little movie snacks
Had to do the biggest double take of my life when the film opened with a harpsichord score over Olivia Colman walking and the credit “edited by Yorgos Lamprinos” popped up
shocked at how many old people were in my cinema considering the fact that if i was old this would be the LAST FUCKING MOVIE i would ever want to watch
florian zeller: hey olivia pls come act in my new movie
olivia colman: no
florian zeller: glenn close might be winning her first oscar
olivia colman: when do we start
What I Expected: a heartrending but quirky British movie about dealing with a loved one suffering from dementia.
What I Found: One of the most unbearably tense and frightening films I've ever seen about *having* dementia.
Really reminded me of Polanski's The Tenant, in that it mostly takes place in one apartment and truly made me feel like I was losing my mind. The ending of this movie will absolutely crush you if you're brave enough to experience it. Just give God Hopkins another Oscar. He destroyed me.
