Pound for pound, probably the funniest movie ever made and there's never really been anything like it. The particular vision of Arthurian legend that this forms is wholly unique, and despite the shoestring budget, the crew's ion bleeds through and transports the viewer to a ridiculous stage play of epic proportion that wields whimsy like Excalibur itself.
Pretty solid fun time. Nothing mind-blowing and the final act is pretty predictable but the lead up is strong and overall this feels far more well considered than the majority of Marvel projects. Usually I come out of any MCU flick with a litany of complaints, but here I'm actually satisfied. Florence Pugh and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are doing more than anyone would expect of them for this sort of thing. The ending is pretty great.
Absolutely insufferable. Pseudo-intellectual and pretentious to the point of absurdity. Framing is bad. The aspect ratio changes 3 times throughout the film ...for no good reason. The acting is mediocre outside of Greta Gerwig, who is by far the best part of the movie and one of few relatable (or bearable) characters in it. Actions by characters make little sense and get increasingly dramatic without due cause. Characters receive little vignettes of their childhood but they never amount to much…
An exquisitely crafted and extremely gripping thriller wrapped up in a Korean socio-economic family drama. There's not a lot to say other than the outright quality of the writing and the production, as well as the attention to details. A lot of the tension is in the mundane, not in crazy situations. There are a couple moments that I don't love, but I think a great movie should have some of those moments to challenge you, to get you to see what the director wanted you to see. About as close to a 5 as any movie can be.
