Head trip of a film. Damn

“Is there a better description of a cube than that of its construction?”

That first half is just beautiful filmmaking. It meets you with so much gravitas and monumental weight, but the direction the film goes in, post-intermission, fails to meet the expectations set by the preliminary segment. It’s set up as an extraordinary body of work but it just spirals out of control into tangents empty of meaning and substance.
That’s not to belittle its astounding technical feat, it’s just the writing of the second half which is problematic. It nearly felt as though the parts were orchestrated by 2 entirely different directors. It’s a shame…

After the wedding scene this film is so shit omds

Holy shit this film is so cool

“You're doing a play based on a book that was written 60 years ago, for a thousand rich old white people whose only real concern is gonna be where they go to have their cake and coffee when it's over. And let's face it, Dad, it's not for the sake of art. It's because you want to feel relevant again. Well, there's a whole world out there where people fight to be relevant every day. And you act like it doesn't even exist! Things are happening in a place that you willfully ignore, a place that has already forgotten you. I mean, who the fuck are you? You hate bloggers. You make fun of Twitter. You don't even have a Facebook page. You're the one who doesn't exist. You're doing this because you're scared to death, like the rest of us, that you don't matter. And you know what? You're right. You don't. It's not important. You're not important. Get used to it.”

A film that serves to question the value of its own existence, flooring us with the fact that we don’t matter. We’re a dot in reality. For the past hour I’ve been wrestling with this idea. Ive acknowledged it before but to truly think about it and attempt to comprehend it feels so shocking and weird. The feeling is completely foreign to me. I’m like Riley unlocking new emotions in inside out. I’ve been dissecting whether or not anything in my life matters and I can’t find any reason to justify that it does. Come to think of it I don’t know what the point of writing this review is. To voice my opinions? The ones that I’ve realised at the end of the day don’t mean anything. 

Ok I put the phone down for 30 minutes to think. I guess I hope that we aren’t so insignificant but the reality is, we are. But idk. Could that be something to take comfort in. Knowing that every mistake we make doesn’t make a difference. That no matter how big you fuck up in life, it’ll just be swept away by time. And to go even further, while life itself may be inherently pointless, maybe It’s what matters to us that counts rather than us mattering ourselves. That feels a little more tolerable

Oh man.

“I have seen things in this world that would make Isaac Newton crawl back into his mother's womb! We are not so enlightened as we are blinded by the gaseous light of science. I have wrestled with the Devil as Jacob wrestled the Angel in Penuel, and I tell you that if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists!”

“The chocolate orange was pronounced dead at the scene.“

Didn’t quite manage to convince the family to go for Nosferatu but honestly you can’t really argue with this one. Its an exceptional film although much bleaker than I anticipated.

Bring tissues.

Simply just the dopest shit ever created

Been itching to watch this again all year round, so now particularly, feels like more perfect of a time than ever… 

It boasts some of the best performances, writing and on-screen directing of the decade, solidifying its place as an essential, annual, Christmas classic.

Will be a ritual December watch for me…

endlessly escalating madness…

a paralysing piece filled with high levels of suffocating, unmitigated anxiety 

goodness that was quite the film

“Meet me in Montauk”

There’s something so overwhelmingly beautiful within the idea of 2 people loving and understanding one another, to the point at which, after going through a practice as drastic as erasing each other from their memories, they still find their way back to each other…

It’s comforting to even have the suggestion of something like that existing

It’s indescribable how wonderful it is that this is listed as a film on Letterboxd

Proves how invaluable rewatches can be.

An overwhelmingly bleak meditation on the human condition that paralyses me with fear.
I think I’m gonna go stare at the ceiling for a couple hours now and try to comprehend the full scope of this masterpiece

Deeply affecting, but only because this may contain some of the most confrontationally disturbing shit I’ve ever watched. The message of “The Substance” (said with a really deep voice) is clear within the first 30 minutes and isn’t expanded on with enough sophistication for me to fully appreciate it from that angle. (idk maybe I’m missing something) nonetheless that was at the forefront of my mind. Still tho holy shittttttt my jaw was on the fucking floor. Too many grotesquely averse, batshit, fucking outrageous sequences for me not to be completely astounded. Some of those images will be forever seared in my mind. It’s traumatic. Seriously despite my critique, do make the time to watch it - it’s certainly quite the experience and it works oh so well as a horror. Also I had lots of fun picking out the movie references made (The Shining, 2001 ASO, Persona e.t.c)
