Certainly a very stylish looking film, but the plot just seemed insubstantial, there's a club, there's dancers, there's gangsters, there's a musician...
This was a very nice music video compilation set to the early 1920’s. If you’re looking for an engaging, interweaving plot and intriguing characters, well… don’t. If you want something more interesting from this director well, maybe take a look at their underground film called The Godfather and maybe check out its sequel.
people on the internet are so stupid. can't deal with them
Sorry To Bother You is a movie about greed, capitalism, and consumerism told in a very visually surreal and abstract way. It's not a film that will appeal to everyone but fans of Terry Gilliam or Michel Gondry Will appreciate the creativity. 8/10 for me.
Most people knew calling their congressman wasn’t going to do shit. If you get shown a problem, but have no idea on how to control it, then you just decide to get used to the problem.
I don't get why some comments say there's a part with "social commentary" and then a part when the movie "gets weird" as if the second couldn't say anything about society.
At the start this seems normal but man, does shit get weird. LaKeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson are great. I love me some coke snorting Armie Hammer too. Plus David Cross's voice over is perfect. This is not for everyone but worth a watch to see how bat shit crazy Boots Riley is.
Well, now I know what it would look like if BoJack Horseman was real…and naked.
Life in NOT beautiful, but this movie is.
This is way more effective than it has any right to be considering how it was marketed. It doesn't focus on the supernatural aspect, though there is a hint of that, rather it centers on the suggested and the implied, which only emphasizes the grotesque nature of it all. Less about the devil and his crimes, and more about the horrors committed by those with the devil inside them and the people, particularly woman, used and sacrificed on the altar of their ambitions.
Went in to this with little expectations and not much knowledge of the originals. Was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality, performances and fun of the film and ended up having a great time watching!
Nell Tiger Free is excellent in this movie. She plays confusion and ànguish drawing you further into the story. The tone of the movie is perfect and links well directly to the original movie. There are some homages to the original movie that do feel a little unnecessary, but this does not detract overall.
I really enjoyed this film as a fan of the original and will recommend it as an extension to the original narrative and story. Go see it.
"Wrong? What could be wrong with our child, Robert? We're beautiful people, aren't we?"
Not as good as I remembered, it's so slow, feels long and a lot of it didn't age well. The standout moments are the theatrical kills paired with the intense score—a fabulous mix! The glass window kill is so perfect. The dogs in the cemetary is another moment I enjoy. Not impressed by the child acting but Gregory Peck gave a good performance in the main role. The investigation got tedious after a while, make it 15-20 minutes shorter and you have yourself a great movie. Needed more Damien doing creepy stuff screen time, he was barely in the movie. Unexpected twist but I can't say it was worth all that investigation time.
That episode was so frustratingly stupid. If there wasn't just one episode left I'd stop watching.
So Edgar ran away, can't blame him. As parents, we don't realise how sensitive are children are.
Not as great as I thought it would be. I heard it's a kind of classic, but I didn't see it. The timing was strange - it's almost impossible to go to in Italy and back in under two days and not be completely exhausted, yet Johnny was barely winded. Cage's script was strange, very strange, especially when he and Loretta first met. How did she not just run away from that nonsense right away? And who really says they are in love after one night? Was it an 80s thing? I adore Cher and most of her roles, but this one just didn't do her justice.
I can't believe this movie won three Academy awards and was also nominated for best picture.
A good start to the season. A very gritty and seedy area. And Vincent is falling apart even before his son was taken! Let's see how thing's develop.
It was alright, they didn't really do anything different from the Godzilla movies everyone disliked so I don't know why this one was reviewed so highly.
A lot of good elements, but I feel they didn't necessarily mesh together well. It felt like they had some ideas for great shots and scenarios and THEN tried to figure out how to squeeze them into ONE 100 minute film.
This was the only film of the Coen Brothers that I was still missing and again a great one!
This is an amazing film noir shooted in black and white in the most beautiful way, the light is perfect, it just looks gorgeous!
Tells the story about an emotionless baber, Ed Crane, that is amazingly played by Billy Bob Thornton. He discovers that his wife is cheating on him with her boss and decides to blackmail him ir order to raise money for an investment, but things didn't worked out as planed.
The atmosphere that The Coens wanted to create was totally succeeded we can definitely feel the melancholy that passes through some of the scenes. Beethoven's piano pieces as soundtrack are also another one of the great things in this film.
Another stunning contribution of the super talented Coen Brothers for the art of cinema.

Absolutely no one:
Sato: I want it that way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sato singing I want it that way is the best scene of the episode :laughing:

I love movies about filmmaking, so this premise was right up my alley and, for the most part, I think they leveraged it well, delivering some fun action sequences and solid humor throughout. That said, I do think I enjoyed the first half more than second, as the plot started to lose some of its cleverness, with several very predictable sequences through the final act. Overall, a worthwhile watch, but not the instant classic I was hoping it would be.
Intense. Beautifully shot. Really makes use of the sound design. Was ear piercing/gorgeous w Dolby atmos/vision combo for an at home viewing. There's a lot of missing pieces, but it nails the in your face chaos of war. This one leaves a mark. 8.0
This was a great watch. An apocalyptic setting where America is deep in a civil war, yet the politics were never brought into the story. Just the raw events and the human condition. It was beautifully shot. The final act was high-octane military action. I loved it.
Lots of comments and low ratings by people who didn't comprehend the film...
This is a dark and gritty take on war journalism, set in a fictional timeline not too different from ours. This was mainly to avoid the audience interpreting it as a political message. They make this abundantly clear in the first few minutes when Texas and California are both on the successionist side.
Civil War would have earned a 9/10 from me, but got bumped down to 8/10 due to how unfathomably fake and immersion-breaking the "sacrifice" scene was (intentionally vague to avoid spoilers). So much attention to detail throughout the film, and then such a sloppy delivery of one of the most impactful moments.
Otherwise, there was a high level of polish from start to finish. The acting, effects, and cinematography were all top notch.
I have to contradict most comments here, this is a great parable on civil war and current society, not a story about photojournalism. Those journalists acting as a tool, a train driving through the story to show the gruel reality there: total numbness, inhumanity and resignation about the people and circumstances of the conflict. Only glimpses of their background and feelings are shown, apart from fear. Nothing is questioned, morale is absent.
Garland leaves his usual void to fill in your thoughts and it is working brilliantly here. No one wants to wake up to a reality like this, but the way it is told is unsettlingly plausible.
