for such a big budget you’d think this would look better. cgi everywhere, costumes from party city, fake plants. the first one feels so big, this one looks like a c tier marvel tv show. also it’s very jumbled and overly long to the point where you have to question what the hell was going on in the editing bay

did you know they kill you now if you try to make a movie that looks like this

this remains an incredibly frustrating movie because the second act drags so much, it’s chock full of characters and plot lines that feel drawn out and annoying, and it’s still such a great movie despite all that. incredible third act that makes it all worth it i guess. and so much of it only becomes more and more relevant - the manosphere, the gifted child burnout, the way we understand our childhoods as part of who we are now.
also the guys in front of me watching this for the first time did the guy leaning forward in chair meme during the tom cruise monologue. so real.

does a good job showing how something gets politicized in real time, and how so many of our current problems can be traced back to those critical reagan years when he let business fully take control of american policy. but felt line 60 youtube clips cut together. it’s impressive how much archive footage was found and used effectively but it really could’ve used a talking head or narrative voice to pull it together
]]>
very good directing and performances elevate something that is overall rather cliche and jumbled. great in a theater! shame everyone is gonna watch it on “apple tv plus” and hate it
]]>
this is fine, with looks into something that could be great but isn’t fully baked. if this movie had 20% less jamie lee curtis it would be much better

a really powerful, very timely documentary. i don’t know how anyone can live when we do now and not see the palestinian struggle as the defining moral issue of our time. the camerawork is both shaky and steady, contrasting the extremes of life under occupation. the filmmakers show idf soldiers with huge guns and tanks, harassing palestinians armed with nothing but cameras; the way israeli and western media twist what is happening in real time; how israel only exists through the support of its western allies (it’s crazy that the democrats are now further right on this than TONY BLAIR).
through it all, the relationship between basel and yuval hold the film together. the contrast between the two of them, the freedom and possibilities of their lives, is stark. basel even says that yuval wants to end the occupation in 10 days. he has the fervent desperation of someone who has just discovered an atrocity, while basel is resigned after being born and raised in a situation that has only gotten worse.
it’s one of those films that everyone should see and most people won’t. there were even walkouts in the festival screening. but you cannot make people leave when they have no other land

i am a sucker for sibling (or sibling like) dynamics such is this one, but overall doesn’t lean in as much as i want it to. funny but not as funny as it could be, emotional but not as emotional as it should be
]]>
overly long and at the end of the day, i just don’t like opera that much. while i appreciate larrain’s commitment to the aocu (aristole onassis cinematic universe), the framing device here is much clunkier than in jackie. i also think it lacks the clarity and central focus of jackie, and maybe it’s unfair to compare the two, but they’re just similar enough that you have to

absolutely astounding first feature. not really sure what to say other than i really really liked it! the moment when srinivash asks anila who mira is more like and she says mira thinks she’s like her dad and wants to be like her dad a few moments after you saw her refuse to dance like her mom…..
