movies can be time machines and this is one of those

I really struggled with this one.

I can see why some people has this on their best of 2024 list but it just didn’t fully work for me. 
Gorgeous score though.

some things you just cannot explain, but I felt that scream deep in my core.

pretty fun! Had one of my least favourite tropes ever but I survived lol.

I thank god everyday for Nicole Kidman and you should too. 
Hell of a performance that anchors the entire film.

the power of art, goddamn.

Especially poignant in the wake of Mme Pelicot’s trial. 

Stunning indictment of true crime, stan culture, and sensationalized news. 

When she says “you are obscene” she means us all; nobody is exempt.

Perfection

I am what God made me. 

Diehz is better with his small amount of screen time than some actors will be in their entire career. 

Dying to know if Tedesco’s cunty little vape was in the novel or if that’s a film only detail, and if it is only in the film, whose decision it was because A+++.

as a messy bench who loves drama and troubled Ralph Fiennes performances this movie was made in a lab exactly for me

Gorgeous, well made and acted film that just didn’t work for me. 

Glad we are having sex worker stories that aren’t tragic, but this one for me was too far on the other side of almost no backstory.

Godzilla Minus One ass movie making me fucking ugly cry all over myself 

Definitely going to read the books now!

Janney has 2 minutes of screen time here in which she is better than the entirety of I, Tonya.

You just know all 5 Derry Girls loved Kneecap. 

Movie doing better work for tracksuits than Sue Sylvester.

some truly excellent laugh out loud moments in the film

It’s hard not to be romantic about baseball. 

Lowkey an all timer here from Zimmer.

Excellently crafted documentary that blends interview and archival footage to great effect.

Will definitely check out the book by Kantor & Twohey. 

the scoff I let out when I saw the Plan B logo…some deep ironies at work in the universe sometimes.

perhaps the most charming best picture winner of recent memory. Somehow both totally shocked and not at all surprised that this took home the big prize ??? Lol 

I’ll be honest I think this is a 3 or 3.5 star film, but the cast does a lot with what they’re given and really elevate all the emotional beats. I must have cried 3 or 4 times.

Gina Prince-Bythewood, the woman that you are.

Saoirse I love u

This review may contain spoilers.

Trin says “I fucking hate that bitch- Justice for the demon!” 

lol. 
I really enjoyed the way this played with gender expectations, but am not sure how well it’ll play on a rewatch.

pretty scathing indictment of the US that “teen friendship road trip to get an abortion” is an entire sub genre

this film has charisma oozing out its eyeballs—such charm!!

(Btw there is a post credits tag)

Interesting premise that just doesn’t really deliver or connect the different threads in a satisfying way. 

I think Ishana has potential as a director and am interested to watch her episodes of Servant as well as any projects. 

Score is doing the most to not be On The Nature of Daylight lmao

literally saw the news of Giovanni’s ing right after I logged this. 
Rest in peace.

If just one person watches this and goes “oh” — the power of art. 

(Seeing complaints that this was d a thriller and didn’t deliver - I had not seen any promo material but yeah this is not a thriller.)

Watched on Wednesday December 4, 2024.

Absolutely devastated to learn that writer/director & costar Adrienne Shelly died before this film even came out. 
Doubly so that she never lived to see the musical adaptation, which is fantastic. 

Some really unfortunate and unfunny ableism toward Becky’s human. 

Earl, is of course, an abusive piece of shit.

Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? 

Such an interesting film, no doubt to be completed ignored by awards circuit.

This really worked for me on a level I was not expecting, given my general distaste for true crime. Ended with a catharsis that I felt was missing from Blink Twice.  I’m not totally surprised to see did not resonate with others and for the most part I see the criticisms. 

Kendrick’s inspiration from Fincher is clear, especially the lower key, quiet sense of dread that was the signature of Mindhunter. 

In that vein, it reminds me a bit of Gone Girl with the calculated deconstruction of certain relationship tropes & social expectations (though this one is quiet in where that film is aggressive). 

It’s not perfect by any means but there were some true fucking bangers of dialogue and excellent ing performances that really carried this. Hopefully Kendrick keeps directing and her next projects are less mired with production difficulties! Lots of potential here. 

2024 really is the year of female directorial debuts, eh?

I think this is really a 3.5 star movie but extra 0.5 added for making me cry a bit. 

Scream queen Hunter Schafer, welcome! 

Dan Stevens is like if Hugh Grant just skipped all the funny romantic stuff and jumped right to the creepy/weird. Here for it.

This review may contain spoilers.

To be honest if it wasn’t for that ridiculous deepfake I’d give this five stars. Felt like prosthetics and a real actor could’ve accomplished what was needed, and that character felt a bit over present for what was necessary. 

I thought it had a great ensemble, interesting set up and tie into Alien and Aliens, and was really nicely shot. 

Very enjoyable! 
To me, is the film that feels the most like a true alien film since the first 2. 

Is there anything Spaeny can’t do??

AVP not included because i don’t care

1. Alien

   can’t beat the original 

2. Alien: Romulus
3. Prometheus

   thematically the strongest of them all, with a remarkable score, strong ensemble, and beautiful production. 
   

4. Aliens

   I can’t stand the crew, the marines are insufferable. 
   Newt is MVP 

5. Alien³
6. Alien: Covenant

   Cowardly choice to kill Shaw off screen, the opposite of what I want from Ridley. 
   
   Neither truly follows up what Prometheus was about nor gives any clearer answer or connective tissue to the original. Great concepts like the second in command’s religiosity or the opening with Weyland & David are introduced but then underdeveloped. 
   
   

7. Alien Resurrection

   By far the most unmemorable ensemble, and retreads the corporate greed thing without adding anything new or interesting. 
   Best part was ripley destroying 1-7

1. Saw III

   by far the best as it’s lowkey actually about something ?? (grief, guilt, forgiveness) and contains probably my least favourite trap of them all which is the Judge’s trap. Barf. 

   
   

   Perform brain surgery or get shot in the face is also just totally iconic. 

   
   

   Nothing beats a double reveal, and I’ll be honest I definitely have teared up during at least one viewing of this one. 

   
   

   Also contains the GOAT Saw franchise performance which is Bahar Soomekh as Dr Lynn Denlon. 

2. Saw X

   Out of respect for Dr Lynn Denlon I will not dethrone III from my top spot but this movie slaps. 
   
   Probably objectively speaking the best acted and directed entry, and doesn’t go too over the top with the goofy editing. 

   
   

   This entry is lean and tight and trims all the weaknesses of other instalments in favour of zooming in on John, which is always a good thing. 

   
   

   The traps are brutal and the element of performativeness or group suffering in the traps is excellent. Truly spectacular final trap. 

3. Saw

   respect to the OG 

4. Saw V

   teamwork makes the dream work. 

   
   

   This series of traps might be my favourite?? This is also the beginning of the ridiculous for these movies
   

   
   

   I do love the glass box mini test. 

5. Saw II

   John said ACAB and for that mad respect. 
   
   This one also contains a pretty sweet reveal but it’s weaker because I actually don’t care at all about the people in that house. 
   What even are their names??">Spiral: From the Book of Saw
