Fuck. This I think was the most exhilarating experience watching a film ever in my life. 

I can’t even begin to describe this. It’s a wyrd-trippy-surreal-phantasmogoric-folk horror-romantic-dark humor-drama. 

This is among the handful of greatest movies I’ve ever seen.

I’ll don’t think I’ll view shit in the same way, ever.

Magnificent!!

p.s. I almost wish that everyone would see this at some point in their life. It is that stupendous. REQUIRED viewing.

100/100.

Breaking the Waves

1996

★★★★★ Liked Watched

Where to start? I watching this for the first time at a special screening (Seattle International Film Fest). It was my first film of Lars Von Trier. And it left me shattered. I was sobbing uncontrollably at the end. This will always be my favorite film of all time. Same goes for Lars Von Trier (he literally has made 4 or 5 of the greatest films ever). This one is very, very special-just like Bess.

I went into this not expecting much - but, my gosh, it delivered. 

Really captured that time and place (the Soviet Union), the drama of it all, the coldness of the alien, and the brief time when they were in outer space.

Really, really good if you are in the mood for a slow burn, psychological, sci-fi/horror/thriller.

Aww. Without giving anything thing away - this is an awfully cute queer horror-comedy.

Mad God was made by a Mad Genius. It was sick, filthy, horrific, mushroom 🍄 induced psychedelia that was absolute perfection. This was MADE FOR ME. I can’t applaud Phil Tippett enough.

Thank you.

And fucking SHUDDER is killing everyone this year.

99/100.

I’ll it, this isn’t perfect - but this movie was like an ode to Lovecraft and cosmic horror.

I loved everything that was in the bathroom, and hated everything outside of the bathroom. So probably, I’d give it an 84/100. HAHA!!

This had a very specific audience, and once again, that’s me.

This was really fun. Sort of a cosmic horror-philosophical drama-serial killer horror-comedy (it was HILARIOUS).

Now, if the director/cinematographer didn’t shoot the outside scenes like an after school special.
