wonder how it feels to be a filmmaker today knowing this exists and you’ll never reach it’s level of greatness

Nathan Fielder is the new Abbas Kiarostami. A masterwork of reflexivity, questioning the lengths of performance vs persona, and how the manipulative nature of it effects the people and their surroundings it's played upon.

Who would have thought the most poignant moment of the year would be in the same episode as a Bill Gates impersonator singing "ding dong Daddy" and spending a good chunk of Comedy Central's budget on escorts.

A preliminary but confident rating as I think that this might be a valid addition to my two hundred 5/5 rated films (ever), out of the 10,000 or so that I've seen. A deeply psychologically complex masterwork of pure cinema & introspective emotion from the king of contemporary comedy. Hands down one of the very best movies of the year.

the classic old white person move is getting you to sympathize with them for like an hour and then SURPRISE! they’re a trump supporter

"The main thing about age progression is the gravity. What makes people age is gravity. If there were no gravity-for instance, if we all lived in outer space, AS WE WILL ONE DAY, your face would never change. You'd always look like how you look right now."

This man, like any man traveling with two identical printers, is right.

wow this catfish special is WILD! only thing is, nev looks great but max aged horribly :/

This is the best movie of the year and letterboxd is probably gonna remove this because it's ran by stupid nerds

que saco assistir isso sabendo que vou ser o Bill um dia. tomara que eu não vire um republicano safado pelo menos

i would die for nathan fielder. also the last 10 minutes of this were surprisingly heartbresking :(

I‘m not surprised at Nathan Fielder‘s very good grades on here. A wonderful expression of artistic personality.
 Fielder uses the reality TV like an accelerationist to let multiple strands of reality collapse into each other, while leaving room to develop his ethics as a Documentarian. His expertise in the medium is evident in his aesthetic presentation of Bill that is beffitingly shape-shifting from endearing old man to possible stalker.

But the best moments of Finding Frances come when Fielder finds himself adrift in Little Rock, Arkansas. There, he acknowledges his own despair and scrutinizes his feelings of loss through his frequent meet-ups with an escort, he meets his match in reality bending. The results are utterly fascinating, you can see him grapple with his own filmic approach once it dawns on him, what he has been doing with his show. 

No wonder fielder selected finding frances as the ultimate episode, even though he worked on other episodes after.

Nathan showed that girl his show the exact same way I showed a girl I liked in freshman year of college a Patton Oswalt standup bit.

me watching this: Bill. Bill. Nathan. Nathan? Bill. Bill. Bill. Nathan. Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill.

This is ABSOLUTELY an masterpiece! Idk how Nathan pulled this off but this is so well made. The story was genuinely touching and such an amazing way to end this amazing show.

I think we can pretty much all relate to Joe's review so I'll just copy paste it:

And here's a great article if you want to learn more about Nathan's ex-wife.

Been on a Nathan for You kick since Borat this past week to get my fill of that type of comedy. While not as funny as some of the episodes, it’s a surprisingly heartwarming movie while still keeping the awkward, dry humor of the show
