Adored this movie. Solid performances, amazing screenplay, and McDonagh’s most gorgeous looking film to date. All of the actors were fantastic in this. This has to be my favorite film of the year.
One of my favorite moments of the film was Siobhan correcting Colm about Mozart. It shows that Colm was not as smart as he appeared to be, and cracked open his wise old man facade. He was being truthful to about his reasons for tanking the friendship, but his methods for doing so are still bullshit. He is wise, but also bitter and stubborn, and that so he thinks that the key to breaking his monotony is by suffering.
Colm resents Pádraic for being content with his simple life and not being concerned with having a legacy or being remembered beyond those he cares about in life. Colm, due to his frustration with his own existence, concludes that the only reason Pádraic is so content and untroubled is because he is dull and stupid.
Ironically I think Pádraic is actually Colm's muse, after each encounter with an impassioned Pádraic Colm seems to progress with his work on his magnum opus 'The Banshees of Inisherin'.
Moral of the story, in my opinion, is that men create meaningless conflict for contrived reasons and that leads to innocents being hurt (kind of like a civil war).
Best Christmas Movie Ever! It's a classic for a reason
“I didn’t know that liking him would hurt this badly” is a line that will stick with me. I loved how real and authentic this film felt. You can easily relate to all three of the main characters, and understand where they're coming from. The ending was really good too.
This film was absolutely phenomenal and Disney should be absolutely embarrassed by what they put out this year in comparison. Voice cast really shines, and the look and visual art direction is just beautiful. The kid who voiced Pinocchio was phenomenal. The running gag of Ewan McGregor being horribly maimed whenever he tried to sing his song was hilarious every time to me
This is an incredible film. Not only is it a thoroughly entertaining film, it also comes with some hard-hitting messages. With the film taking place in the 1970's, I loved how it was able to tie a lot of things to present day, and make some slight jokes along the way as well.
I believe it's probably Spike Lee's best movie in years. Although the movie may be a bit long for some at 2 hrs 15 min, I was not bored for one moment. I highly recommend it.
Such a beautiful film! The cinematography is simply amazing!
I liked how the ending was primarily from Mia's perspective. Had it worked out, Sebastian could not have lived his dream. He would have had a great life, playing in a jazz band in Paris and having kids with her, but it wasn't his ultimate dream.
And that's what this film does so well - it's about two people who fall in love and help each other reach their dreams...They just don't end up together.
Wow! That was a fun theater experience! A Top Gun sequel was not supposed to be this good. I like how the movie is actually focused on Maverick, and it's not a "the new cast takes over" movie, like some other sequels do. The action scenes are thrilling and extremely fun to watch. There's just so much life to them, instead of how soulless CGI can be. This is a peak blockbuster film. I'm glad Tom Cruise put his foot down, and made sure that this was released in theaters.
I know some people might disagree, but I actually like the sequel more than the original.
A lot of powerful voices here. I really like the approach they take to educating about these important topics. They make the material approachable and easy to watch, without simplifying it.
Absolutely loved Madeleine McGraw's performance as Fin's sister. I enjoyed seeing the relationship between the brother and sister remain close and feel realistic. Fin's actor was exceptional too, especially in the scenes with Ethan Hawke. The whole movie was a solid horror-thriller with some excellent high-tension sequences, brutal surprise moments, and an all-around terrifying atmosphere.
I found it to be an incredibly charming film. It had sadness, some humor, good acting. I especially loved Ciaran Hinds as Pop and Caitriona Balfe as Ma. Kenneth Branagh was able to put so much into this, even though it has a relatively short runtime of 97 minutes. The Everlasting Love scene was beautiful.
What a great film! The acting from all four of the main actors is amazing. I think they all nailed the feel of their respective characters. It was a smart choice to go with lesser known actors for this characters since they incredibly well known. Kingsley Ben-Adir was especially good as Malcolm X, I think he nailed the tone well. I loved the dialogue, and thought they brought up important issues and ideas that aren't normally discussed. Some might find it a little slow because it is a dialogue-heavy film, with one main setting, but I was entertained throughout. Regina King has killed it with her directing debut
Predictability doesn’t even matter when a film is so well acted and directed. The sentimentality was laid on thick but I didn’t mind. What a sweet and wholesome movie that will make your heart happy. Also, Troy Kotsur and Eugenio Derbez were standouts for me.
I believe this film does a wonderful job at capturing that late-20's anxiety. It's a period of your life where life becomes less limitless, and you begin to realize that the choices you make have long-term consequences. Julie seems to be weighed down by this.
I made the unfortunate mistake of watching the US remake (The Upside) before I saw this. Watching this has gladly washed away that horrible experience. This was such a great film! The chemistry between the two leads was superb
Such an amazing show! I can definitely see the hype behind the show. The world it creates is so immersive and detailed. It's one of the best "Westerns" I've ever seen. The acting is top notch. There's plenty of people who are typically character actors, but get their opportunity to shine here. Timothy Olyphant, Brad Dourif, and Ian McShane particularly stand out here. Al Swearengen happens to be one of the greatest characters ever! I highly recommend!
It's really neat to re-watch it, and pick up on details you might've missed the initial time; granted I was a kid when I first watched it! There might be a few holes in the story, but it's easy to overlook them. The acting by Haley Joel Osment is outstanding! One of the best performances by a child I've ever seen. Bruce Willis and Toni Collette were quite good as well.
This film was fantastic! The acting of Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver was simply amazing. Their chemistry together made everything seem so real. The supporting actors such as Laura Dern, Alan Alda, and Ray Liotta were all great as well. They injected some humor into everything. I would say that this is one of the best portrayals of divorce I've ever seen. Netflix has delivered on some great films as of late
Justin Long using the rape dungeon as an opportunity to boost his listing square footage is the most realistic portrayal of an AirBnB host I’ve ever seen.
Finally, a biopic with no embellishments or exaggerations! Just the plain, honest truth from beginning to end. I thought it was delightfully and stupidly fun. Lots of laughs up to and past the ending, even. I'm loving Daniel Radcliffe's career choices. Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna was perfect
I must admit, I wanted to hate this show, simply because I loved the film so much! But I was proven wrong. I think Zoe Kravitz knocks it out of the park. The supporting cast is also pretty solid as well. Definitely a fun, easy watch
This movie was really fun. It got a little slow at parts, but the beauty of the movie made it so that you were never bored. Saorise Ronan was fantastic in this as well, she really nailed her role and was genuinely funny througout. Adrien Brody nailed his parts as well, big time.
This film was excellent. The chemistry between Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal is what immediately stands out here. It's crazy how natural it feels. Although the film aims to show problems involving race, as well as issues such as gentrification, the film also has a lot of humor, without trying too hard. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Side note: Being from the Bay Area, Oakland does have a unique feel to it, and it's a city that isn't always portrayed in the best of ways in media, but the film does the city justice. It shows that the city has beauty to it, as well as the people who live there.
Hilarious and haunting. There's a real beguiling quality to this film - it's a character study and yet it manages to touch on so many grand and complex themes while being so singularly focused. Power, obsession, identity politics, image/persona, the transcendent qualities of art, passion, the list could go on.
The classroom scene in the first act really seems to put a context around the rest of the film. Can the merits of a piece of art be separated from the creator? Are they inextricable? Is it an act of ego to dismiss something because we take offence? Do we deny ourselves of something valuable when we moralize art and the artist? Lydia Tar certainly seems to think so. She admonishes her student for letting his ego get in the way of perfecting his craft. She asks him something along the lines of "On what basis would you like those filling out your rating cards judge you?" The implied answer being, simply on my skill.
The "Apartment For Sale" song better be nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars!
This was a pretty delightful film. It was like if you crossed Paddington with Phantom Thread
I thought this movie was great! They were able to really utilize that 90 minutes well. Bob Odenkirk is simply amazing in this. He really elevates the movie. It's also great to see Christopher Lloyd again.
The movie does a great job at not taking itself too seriously. It captures the lives of the tired working class (at least in the beginning).
I loved how some of the fighting scenes were not one-sided at all, like he was getting his ass kicked too. It showed that even the pros can be out of practice.
Bob Odenkirk, Christopher Lloyd, and RZA are probably the strangest action combo I can think of. But like the movie, it works.
Great Documentary! I loved how it was done. The interviews and old footage were excellent
This was a great series, filled with many little twists and turns. I was curious to see how Sam Esmail's unique style would translate to other projects; it does beautifully. His distinct camera work adds suspense and mystery, and certainly keeps you drawn-in, especially when paired with the perfectly-suited music. The acting is great too! Julia Roberts is as good as ever, it's great to see her on a show, so she can really develop a character. Bobby Cannavale, a carry-over from Mr. Robot, is great as Julia Robert's boss. He is a very underrated actor. I was probably impressed most by the performance of Shea Whigham, he brought a lot to a character that in other hands might be an afterthought.
Overall, great series. Have patience while watching it, it will pay off in the end.
"Say what you want about Mel Gibson, but the son of a bitch knows story structure"
"I need to know that I've done one thing right in my life!" Wow, what a performance by Brendan Fraser! Everyone in the cast performed really great as well.
I loved these murder mysteries by Rian Johnson! They are such a fresh take on the genre.
I liked how the other guests were at first cheering on the breaking of the glass sculptures but then horrified at her escalating the destruction, basically reflecting the earlier message about how the ‘Disruptors’ enjoy the idea of rebelling against the system but are actually against it being broken completely.
Also, sweatshops…where sweatpants are made!
