Nadine is literally me when I was younger. I love this movie bad.

Thought this was a comedy, but I guess it checks out with the title. Wasn’t always the most clear what was a flashback and what wasn’t, so I wasn’t always sure of what was happening. Rachel Sennott is a gem and I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed it much without her or Caleb Hearon.

Tarantino films aren’t really for me, so it makes sense that his directorial debut would be my favorite of his. Kinda called the plot from the beginning and didn’t feel like there was a whole lot happening, but I still think it all works for some odd reason?

I love you Jennifer Aniston and Justin Long. Pretty sure you're both problematic, but I choose to ignorant.

Thrilling. Symbolism hidden in every aspect. Spectacular acting from every person. Definitely expecting to see some nominations for them coming next awards season.

So many messages that I have a lot of thoughts on and would love to call people (conservatives) out on for misinterpreting, but I’ll leave it at that.

Blake Lively never fails to look a mess

Love me a heist movie, but this drags more than the rest

feel like I need a shower after that

🎶Dora Dora Dora the explorer!🎶

Convinced they wrote a completely different movie and then brought The Weeknd into the writers room for 15 minutes after seeing The Idol

Maggie Gyllenhaal is so Zooey Deschanel coded in this. Would’ve been Elf 2.

Not my favorite. Wasn’t all that interested in what was happening

Wicked hate is so forced. This movie is FANTASTIC! Yes the cinematography and color grading is not great. The backlit shots (no matter how much Jon Chu tries to defend them) could be so much better. But besides that it’s perfect. Not to mention the comedy is so so good and better than most comedy movies.

Not for everyone, but I love🫶🏻

Luca Guadagnino is such a distinct director. You can tell something was directed by him from a single frame. He has such a distinct way of telling and showing love and ion. I’ve always loved him for this, but his movies have historically been hit or miss for me. Queer feels like the perfect balance of all the movies in his filmography.

Doesn’t hit for me in all aspects, but I enjoyed it and want to watch it more times. Daniel Craig and Guadagnino (for both this and Challengers in the same year) were robbed at the Oscars.

Also, do these guys have jobs?

Wanted to catch this in theaters cause I love to see comedies get a theatrical release nowadays, but glad to see it now. Keke is a national treasure and SZA is a great actor, much better than I would’ve thought for an artist’s debut! Solid comedy. That loan bank scene is top tier.

Watched on Friday March 28, 2025.

Most of my enjoyment of this came from these being one-shot episodes. The amount of work that has to go into meticulously building sets, creating the blocking for both actors and cameras/crew, and the talent the actors have to have to not mess up at all is absolutely astonishing. I don’t know how they did it.

I enjoy the message but wish they went deeper into the social media impact to give a better understanding on what’s out there being taught to kids for those that may not be aware. Could’ve used an episode of the police going down a rabbit hole of social media posts from people like Andrew Tate and talking to the kids more specifically about them (outside of the few convos in episode 2).

It was kinda giving Theater Camp but emo. Idk I was really excited for this and thought I would enjoy it more but there’s a little disconnect for me. Think it could use a rewatch.

Knowing that many of these guys played themselves is absolutely awesome though and made we wish even more I got to know them/their characters/backgrounds more.

It’s good, but I really hate when movies (Uncut Gems) make the entire plot be chaos and stress instead of a fully written story. There’s honestly not a whole lot that actually happens the majority of the movie and is just made to make you feel stressed out and hope that keeps you hooked throughout. If there was a little more to this plot I think it would’ve done what I wanted it to. Mikey however was great and this would’ve flopped completely without her.

Also why did everyone in New York happen to speak Russian?

Very heartfelt, great humor and acting. Went into this thinking it would fall flat cause there’s plenty of movies like this out there, but it does it really well. Wish we got more of Selena Gomez doing this style/delivery of acting. 

Last 20ish minutes weren’t the greatest. Ben being the only one that could apparently help Peaches give birth over all those people and moms nearby was very clearly plot service and did bother me.

This was so weirdly structured and had no continuity between the episodes, but I really loved the five minutes and writers episodes. Would love to see more in the future

20th century high school movies are my absolute favorite genre of movie

The most absolutely insane movie I’ve ever seen.

So much to talk about here but my brain is frazzled.

Looking at Oscar noms Demi Moore deserves her flowers, as well as best original screenplay. Cannot believe they didn’t get the nods for Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid, score, sound, and cinematography.

Was a little confused on if Sue and Elisabeth shares the same mind/conscious, but I think I figured it out (plus there were zero instructions or questions beforehand).

Horror is not for me, but something like this that feels a little more thriller/suspense rooted works. A lot a lot of exposition with a bewildering climax and ending, which is what makes it equally stronger and weaker at times.

Spike Lee was 32 years old directing and starring in this?! That is one talented man.

Can’t believe this piece is still relevant today, and seemingly more and more by the day. Art like this is so important.

Love love love!! This felt like a warm hug. Had me belly laughing consistently. I love SNL and this made me feel nostalgic for something I’ve really only been consistently watching for a few years. It’s absolutely insane the amount of celebrities this show has helped launch. Goes to show just how important it is to small comedians, artists, etc!!

Want to take a moment to recognize the women in this! They are the glue to this show and are always the star comedians. Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Molly Shannon, and Kristen Wiig will always know how to make me laugh.

The ending was tea!

This wasn’t the “thriller” I thought it would be when I saw it labeled as one. Wanted a little more drama, but this isn’t the kind of movie I would normally watch anyways and I still enjoyed it.

This review may contain spoilers.

I enjoyed it, but it definitely has its issues in its writing.

You know something bad is going on from the very beginning but it takes a fairly long time to get out of the vibes and start the actual plot. Even then the time from the reveal of what’s happening to the start of an escape was way too short. I was wanting to stay in that middle ground where they struggle to find a way out but have to act like everything’s normal. That’s where the most tension and storytelling is built in my opinion. Hated that ending too.

BUT I think it still has its good qualities and is overall directed well. Solid debut for Zoë Kravitz. “I’m That Girl” by Beyoncé playing did gag me indeed also. Felt so out of place and gimmicky and was overall a bad decision, but I couldn’t complain hearing it.

Not my personal cup of tea and a pretty cliché story I’ve seen done before, but that doesn’t take away from the actors’ performances and some touching moments

This movie😭😭

Absolutely loved it, especially the story with the sister as they’re the exact same age gap as my sister and I and shared some similar experiences to us. So close to 5 stars, but something stopped me from giving it that extra half star. Can almost guarantee it’ll get it on a rewatch.

I knew what I signed up for when I decided to watch this. That’s why I poured half a bottle of wine! And guess what…I had a good time! (until I started to sober up)

what in the world was that gator scene though

If you zone out or get distracted for a little bit you’ll probably get lost. I fell victim to this but enjoyed what I could pick up on!

Was very excited for this because I love SNL and watch it every weekend, but was let down by this.

A powerhouse cast, but there’s so many of them that you don’t learn much about any character and none of them have an opportunity for character development.
I wish this didn’t all take place in one night. It’s trying to do what Climax did with an endless night of chaos and anxiety, but nothing that happens feels like that big of a deal when we all know it’ll be fine cause the show’s been around for 50 years. I wish this gave the whole background of SNL from the inception of its concept, finding of the actors/comedians, etc. That’s a story I would’ve been more intrigued by.

I saw someone else say this and I can’t not repeat it. For a show surrounding comedy, where is all the humor???

Throw Guy Pearce in the mix with Matt Damon and Brad Pitt of white male actors I cannot tell apart.

I really have some mixed feelings with this one, and largely due to my lack of feelings. Maybe my expectations were too high.
The first act is wonderful. I was fully locked in and didn’t even know why I was. The second act derails and felt like a game of tug of war of whether or not to push the plot forward. I think my main issue was that I cared so much about László as a person but didn’t really care about a lot (if not most) of the things that he was doing. I really just can’t get over the second act. It’s a good movie to see in theaters, but don’t think I could ever see myself watching it at home.

I’m not gonna rate this cause I got too distracted with buying myself a dehumidifier. Maybe I’ll come around and end up rewatching this one day.

Looking at other reviews I almost feel like I watched a different movie cause people thought it was weird (in a good way), didn’t understand it, hated Ingrid, etc. I didn’t think any of that but nevertheless I absolutely loved this. The layers to Edward run so deep and Sebastian Stan is a masterful actor to be able to show and develop all those layers.

“grab your friends, wear your florals🥰”

😒😒😒

I love me a talented nepo baby. You go Colin Hanks!

2 minutes in and we have full ass and boobage!

Movies like this where they just plop the viewer into an immersive experience and the vibes simply are the plot usually don’t work on me. I mean I pick up on the vibes within the first 20 minutes so then there’s very little of a plot to actually keep me engaged. Kinda gives the feeling of flipping through a photo album of an Italian vacation for 2 hours. People don’t like the last 30 minutes but I felt like we were actually getting a plot!

I didn’t watch this, but I did watch Molly’s TikTok on it and that was enough:

Wanted to like this just a little bit more than I did, but it’s still very sweet and enjoyable!

Wow. If there was any competition for best picture last year against Oppenheimer it was Killers of the Flower Moon. Could’ve beaten it and I would’ve understood. Crazy how the best movies of last year were 3 hours long and worth it. I honestly could’ve used another hour of this to dive in even deeper. Nevertheless it leaving the Oscar’s with zero wins after 10 nominations is insanity.

Never seen Lily Gladstone before and what a fantastic actress she is. There’s so much I want to say that I don’t know how to express properly.

I was told to skip this one, should’ve listened. Curiosity got the best of me.

No thoughts. Just eh.

Doesn’t do anything revolutionary. They’re still recent events so this doesn’t feel like it’s exposing or saying anything new and more of an “it is what it is” vibe. Which is somewhat the reality of the situation unfortunately but not sure it it’s movie material. I would say I was pretty disinterested until the last 30 minutes or so.

This rewatch was much needed.

I’ve always felt like my top four movies were tied and I couldn’t pick a favorite of all time, but this watch really reminded me why I love this film so much and locked it in as my favorite movie of all time. I cry EVERY time I hear “Mia and Sebastian’s Theme” anywhere. Literally started tearing up during “A Lovely Night” because of the joy and whimsy that I feel every time I watch La La Land.

p.s. My favorite details are the purple trash cans at 59:45 to emphasize summer. So small but something I’ve always loved.

“And that contract business with Choo is coming apart at the seams.”
”Choo?”
”Bless you sir.”

Roommate walked by and immediately asked if this was an Anderson film.

Really love the vibes, style, and shooting of this movie! Don’t know if I’m making this up but parts of it felt like a stage production which I absolutely loved cause it brought it all together. Pretty basic for a whodunit but I think that’s exactly what it wanted to be to resemble stage production versions.

This is probably around my 15th watch of this. I used to watch it once a month and I listen to at least one song from the live album almost every day (a lot in the gym). Needless to say I sang and did all the choreo on my couch.

Perfect hype up before going out for NYE. No one will ever top the queen.
