listen: jessica chastain is everything to me. EVERYTHING. i am not even exaggerating. i just spent the past half hour whispering her name aggressively and bouncing around energetically in the dark, empty movie theater parking lot. weird? maybe. necessary after seeing this movie? for me, absolutely
I hate it when I am Buffalo, NY's hunkiest blonde ophthalmologist and my gf-to-be leaves me for a goth fop. ANYWAY I've said it before I'll say it again: Charlie Hunnam is Henry Cavill for smart people
86/100
Del Toro does Gothic romance, and it's as emotionally charged, visually luscious, and batshit insane as you'd expect. An underlying presence of swirly horror heightens an already painstakingly artificial canvas of candlelight and romance, but it is within the spatial movement of gorgeously costumed actors relating to a mysterious house that bursts with spookiness. Crimson Peak, even in its smaller details, is ravishing.
In fact, I was so immediately swept up in its Digital ode to analog terrors, with Del Toro's use of classical filmmaking techniques such as wipes and irises casting an ever-potent spell, that even a simple waltz carried me into a realm of overwhelming devotion. It's a film of distinct control within its proudly conventional roots,…
just putting it out there that I would marry a hot, evil aristocrat and let him steal my family fortune to build a goop mine if it meant I could wear that one dress with the velvet grapes on it
YESS GO OFF GUILLERMO GOTHIC KING!!!!!! THAT'S MY AESTHETIC!!!! THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE!!!!!!
jessica chastain. jessica chastain's dresses. jessica chastain's hair. jessica chastain yelling. bloody jessica chastain. deceitful jessica chastain. jessica chastain. holy shit, jessica chastain
marrying tom hiddleston when charlie hunnam and jessica chastain are both right there? can't relate
Del Toro's sympathies have always been with the monsters, so why is his gothic romance fetish object not their story instead of this bland heroine's? Exquisite costumes, lush sets, a layer of knowing camp...all he does is luxuriate in the constructed-ness of this thing. It's just atmosphere drained of mystery, another one of his sketchbooks brought to life instead of a movie.
