“we can do it. we can fucking skip time”

i started to get scared when the reviews for this began to trickle in, but i have to admit that i was completely captivated by it, and not in a sense that i think it’s profound or that i’m seeing something that people are missing, but the fucking honestly of it... not everyone is gonna enjoy that or be entertained by that, but it’s fascinating to me here: time compacted, emotions strained to the breaking point. years worth of interactions sped up and processed and cherished and discarded like rotten fruit. and most of all, the two extremely dedicated and sincere performances make this what it is, whatever that may be

this is a really peculiar movie, but it really worked for me. also, there’s something really satisfying about seeing two women, wrapped up in each other’s arms, screaming at the moon in the middle of the night

“i’ve already started writing a song about us. - it’s about you and me falling in love for the first time. but, like, we have invented falling in love. you know? we invented it and then the rest just copy us. like doing covers of our falling in love”

time is fake and i’m so fucking sad

oh wow the simultaneous existential fear and passionate obsession with emotional intimacy

“because it hurts! because it hurts so much! that’s why i know, it’s fucking real, ok?”

intimacy is so TERRIFYING.... to be your own person from birth that breathes and sleeps and thinks and then to willingly share yourself with someone else and give them a part of you, if not all of you: not just close in proximity physically but in every cell of you and every thought and to attain that closeness seems almost impossible... none of this is coherent! all i know is that i’ve been crying for an hour and this movie Does something to me

when alia shawkat said “I DON’T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE,” i felt the same

it might just be me but i think there are better ways to communicate with someone without shoving poop in their face

"We can do it. We can fucking skip time."

Two women, who are dissatisfied with the dishonesty they see in dating and relationships, decide to make a pact to spend 24 hours together hoping to find a new way to create intimacy.

Honestly, one of the most captivating and intruiging films I have ever seen. Duck Butter takes the ususal "rom-com" and explores the concept of creating intimacy at a deeper level. Well worth a watch through second time Duck Butter was a unique and fantastic film.

hated it lol she should stick to arrested development

MUMBLECORE IS ALIVE BABY

while this movie isn't bad, it isnt the best either. it's full of long silences and forced chemistry that kind of throws off the rest of the movie. there's something about this film that's just slightly off, and i can't really put my finger on it. 
what i found interesting about this film is the way you can watch sergio become obsessed with naima in what feels like real time. the way this movie is filmed makes it feel like you're right there in the moment. it's awkward, it's weird, and it feels like you're peeking in on the characters' private moment.

What??? Someone explains this to me?? Wtf?? 
I’m so confused.

I don’t know if I’d want to be friends with either of them, but I don’t get this vitriolic hatred of Sergio that I’ve read in some reviews and comments, what was so bad about her?

Ooooh. Yeah. I didn't find the characters fully believable, but I did enjoy this.

um estranho no lago (caidinho) das sapatão
sai a natureza selvagem dos meninos, entra o brincar de casinha das meninas
no lugar da ameaça da morte, a adrenalina dos sentimentos exacerbados
o mar de anônimos versus a ilha de partilha
gozar até o fim X parar e pensar

quando todo mundo sabe que vai dar merda, mas às vezes só se ouve até o verbo "dar"

don't invite your friends over for an orgy when you're sleep deprived
