Bong Joon-ho on vacation mode, and honestly? I'm here for it. After the social commentary sledgehammer of "Parasite," who'd have thought the director would pivot to what's essentially a sci-fi comedy romp starring multiple Robert Pattinsons? It could've been another cerebral exercise in class metaphors, but instead Bong delivers something unexpectedly straightforward and genuinely funny. Pattinson clearly had a blast playing against himself, bringing distinct personality to each iteration of Mickey without overplaying the gimmick, is this the dude from Twilight? There's still some trademark Bong weirdness lurking beneath the surface (that ice creature sequence!), but the film never demands you solve a cinematic puzzle box to enjoy it. Like watching a world-class chef decide to make the perfect burger instead of molecular gastronomy—sometimes it's refreshing when a brilliant filmmaker just wants you to have a good time. Not everything needs to be homework.

Culkin delivers his best work since discovering the F-word in "Home Alone," playing a chaotically brilliant man-child whose unfiltered honesty makes him both impossible to live with and impossible not to love. The film deftly balances awkward tour group dynamics (featuring the mandatory "guy who thinks he knows more than the guide") with genuine emotional excavation about inherited trauma. By the quietly devastating finale, I was reminded that some wounds never fully heal. Undramatic yet meaningful.

Uff, this girl is trouble. I quite like the way these journalists are being some much in front of the action, is that the case irl, have to do some research. But yeah, quite a few "spill the popcorn moments". The tension build up was fantastic. Felt like watching Sicario. Give this man more money, he can deliver bang for buck.

Nick cage, the victim 🙏

NZ French Film Festival '24(1/4) - Prolific caste, amazing cinematography and great pace leaving you to want more, what else can anyone ask for in a revival.

Watching the satire of the manners, conventions, and hypocrisies of the bourgeoisie, portraying them as superficial, pretentious, and disconnected from reality and all banal conversations and social rituals, is so relevant in the time when there are multiple wars ongoing. We are all in a way the same as the characters in the film.

Symbolism is pervasive throughout all artistic mediums, and the new(ish) production of Cinema is no exception. It smartly depicts what the artist wants to convey subversively and forms a special connection between the viewer and the creator.
