The Last Movie You Saw?

[Monsieur Cristobal]

One Battle After Another was fabulous. I'd love to see it again asap.

I watched it today and it is a marvelous movie. Packed with tension and very touching!
It might become my favorite PTAnderson film, and I like all of them.

By the way, Pynchon's "Vineland", the book that inspired it, is also incredible!

Zvyagintsev is one of my favorite living directors and I hope we get to see another film directed by him.

His dreamy debut The Return and his last movie, the devastating Loveless are both exceptional.

Relationship between parents and children are in the center of these stories.

I finally got around to seeing "The Substance."

It was...meh. I don't know if all the hype already wore out my anticipation for seeing the film, or maybe it's a movie that's best-enjoyed in the theater and not particularly at home, but I wasn't nearly as crazy about it was I thought I was going to be. It was good, but it wasn't as great as I thought that it would be.

I really enjoyed After The Hunt

Lurker.

Surprisingly impressive. Going in, the 2 lead actors on first impression were such a turn-off; was convinced that they wouldn’t be able to pull off their roles. But they came through. The Weeknd must be seething at how effortlessly this film accomplished above and beyond in less than 2hrs what his vanity project couldn’t even scratch the surface of in a bloated series-- and all the while making him look like a goofy little creeper. He makes solid pop, but he does look like a goofy little creeper.

Give it another chance, eugenius.

Maybe the hype set the standards not so much high— but mistaken too serious a tone for you??? Because it isn’t serious at all. If you view it as an OTT-camp, satirical B-movie, but totally deadpan. And imagine Demi’s character as a combination of Edina and Patsy, and all the supporting characters as cartoons, of which they absolutely are, then it’s an absolutely fabulous satire of all the mostest popular InstaCelebs that see themselves as everything important when they’re not, and the sheep that worship them but also want to take their place in an instant, by any means, as the most important ambition to accomplish in their lives. None of this is important: The fashions we wear; the bodies we’ve sculpted— either by hard training or by procedures; the paintings we hang on our walls; the cars we drive; the people we think we need to be seen with and need to like us. We haven’t progressed as a society at all, and this film makes a great point of this without lecturing anyone— just grossing you out by it all. Denis’ character in his expensive tacky suit is so many men in his position: High status, but his table manners are as bad as his breath LMFAO (…Stellar hygiene and a fresh breath are infinitely more important than carrying a Birkin, people.)
