Letterboxd — Your life in film

I laughed. I teared up at the end.

I’m excited to watch it again and play cinephile. I tried to avoid that during the first watch, but Greta Gerwig makes that hard.

Fine, I guess.

I did appreciate the unconscious bias demonstrated by showing the ways the city wasn’t designed with fire people in mind.

Otherwise, pretty basic.

First time going to the theater twice in years.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

More like a demo reel than a movie. There was…no story?

Cool to look at, but nothing to hold on to.

Watched with my 7yo who followed along and even got the metaphors. 

Time we’ll spent.

I found this to be deeply sad. That’s not a mark against it, just the result of a very well told sad story.

So good.

Funny and passionate and silly, but still grounded and poignant. 

I hadn’t seen it before, and so I was pretty quickly reminded of Love, Actually. Except, this feels less cynical. It’s the silliness that is different, and love IS pretty silly.

I was expecting this to be more tame than Batman & Robin. I guess it is, but there is a straight line between the two.

A good one to compliment transitioning from one year to another.

Pretty stunning.

Not great as a stand-alone. But, really efficient in reorganizing the characters and timeline.
