    Doing a reverse jump scare by going silent instead of loud noise is genius, honestly more effective than the traditional, the bus scene felt very reminiscent of Perfect Blue.

    It started to lose me for a bit in the second half but than reeled me right back in when it almost turns into an Iannucci or Kaurismäki-esque satire which took me by complete surprise.

    Also sidenote, no way a kid threw half of a fucking engine into the second floor window from outside and if like me you don't know what "Ratel" means, it means honey badger.

    This movie and Didi were two films this year, I wasn't expecting, that deeply affected me personally. Both of them have shown me relatability that I never felt before to an almost eerie extent.

    Jesse Eisenberg shocked me, I think the writing is incredible and also very specific. These two characters and their relationship are so close to reality for me but I can also see some people seeing them as almost caricatures which is why I find it very…

    70mm at TIFF Lightbox
    For Toronto's 'premiere' theatre (only in name and content) it's truly a shame they don't have larger screens especially for events like this one.

    (Note: Brutalist architecture has and will always suck, sounds cool though)

    From the opening shot of this film you know it'll be something special. The scale Brady Corbet is able to bring into a rather intimate story is something to aspire to. From the score to the cinematography it gives off a…

    ★★★½

    It really had me going until it loses all its steam in the final minutes of the film. 

    After The Northman and this, Eggers has cemented his style in filmmaking that is undistinguishable from his use of shadows, his slow zooms into darkness, and down to his favourite use of a low reverberating voice that rolls their Rs. He even added Ralph Ineson for good measure. 

    Lily-Rose Depp is the easy standout here. Incredible work and took over the award…

    What a great biopic, Timothee is incredible, way above expectations and Boyd Holbrook steals as Johnny Cash. Now let the music biopic die. At least for a few years…

    What a world it must’ve been where the biggest scandal in the music industry was a guy switching to electric.

    By not diving deep into Dylan's background, mind, and process, Mangold is able to keep the 'mythicality' of Dylan and that's something I really appreciate, keeping him 'A Complete Unknown'. But…

    As uncanny as that highway sequence was, it was awesome. The gun appeared out of nowhere in her hand like an AI video.

         I don’t think I’ll be able to watch a movie ever again, let alone this one in another format. Incredible. Thank you to the guy who returned his ticket, in a good seat, to this showing last second. Glad I didn’t miss this opportunity. 

         This movie only gets better with time, ironic. Bumped from 4.5 to 5, I think it’s the best shot film ever made. It’s a complete tragedy that this only…
