Letterboxd — Your life in film

Honestly I feel like this is overstuffed, busy with so many stories but doesn't really ever settle down to actually tell any of them. That said it's very funny and completely visually dazzling front-to-back so ultimately that's not a huge concern.

Written and directed entirely by AI.

"No, it's fine. It's real. You know, in actuality, Lobo would have to struggle with that problem every day."

What if Robert Rodriguez ripped off CURE? That's right it would suck really hard.

I'll be honest I would not have expected Guy Ritchie to so successfully mash-up Peter Berg and John Ford but here we are. He's an erratic filmmaker but this is, what, his 2nd or 3rd best movie?

So Brooks-ian it's almost impossible to believe it was directed by the guy who made PARALLAX VIEW and ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN. On the other hand I don't think it's served well by mostly sticking to Reynolds' POV (he might also be miscast although I appreciate the swing), and I also don't think Brooks would ever let Bergen's character be so desperately needy today. Clayburgh however is giving an all-timer, a quintessentially self-critical Brooks character overpowered by doubt and motivated by insight. Almost a great movie.

Best Ren Faire I've ever been to.

Come for the juvenile sarcasm, stay for the animal torture! And the friendship. Fun movie.

Like, that's it?

My dude's license plate should be DIELMAN. Total banger.

Deeply suspenseful, downright Hawks-ian procedural of collectivism, spiritual community, and professional expertise. Outstanding.

Like an extra long episode of Mandalorian except good.
