Letterboxd — Your life in film

CRYING THROWING UP SOBBING WRITHING IN PAIN

Have a bad relationship with your birth father? Assume a new identity and get a new one! A classic queer story.

It looks so great after all these years, can’t imagine how much better it’ll look on the criterion restoration

It gets all the classic noir tropes in a cool hour. Loved the permanent defeated look on Tom Neal’s face. He’s done in from the start and he knows it.

Clearly made with a labor of love and respect and reverence. It goes so naturally between narrative film and documentary. Maybe one of the best biopics ever.

I love that the film was marketed for its gruff appearance but it’s one of the most tender things I’ve seen all year. Nic Cage man. I just wanna watch this movie 50 times.

Need the Massimo Alberto Machiavelli sequel NOW

This is literally my favorite thing this year that isn’t Luca

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL cinematography. Every mirror scene is so expertly framed

Bill Duke is such a versatile director whose voice is heard through all of his films. He puts so much life into them, this being his finest.

The last scene is why I love cinema

Came to see an elephant sitting, left with more emotional trauma

I love seeing Paul Newman play a depressed, pathetic man. Very sexy of him
