NYFF 2020: film #13
"it must be very nice to be you"
i got really annoying mild indigestion after watching this, and honestly i kind of blame sofia coppola. i don't want to say this is her worst film, but to say otherwise would be lying, so this is her worst film. when i imagine the target audience for this i see an upper class woman browsing films to rent on the couch at 9pm, remote in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, after having just given her children a melatonin gummy and put them to bed. “i loved that!” she will exclaim to herself aloud when it ends, and will have forgotten all about it…

As a fan of Sofia Coppola, Bill Murray, Jenny Slate, and dark blue color palettes, I could not be more disappointed. Is it a rom-com? Is it a satirical take on a rom-com? What is this?
Usually Coppola's work feels a little off but it's got this unique thing going for it that I can never put into words. It always keeps me interested, it's different! This....huh?? I guess I understand why the "bad acting" (up for debate) in The Bling Ring is a huge turn off for people because the performances in this were borderline unbearable. At the same time I blame that more on the screenplay.
For as good as it looks sometimes—I'm talking to you, shot of Bill Murray and Rashida Jones whipping through NYC in cool car—this is extremely stale.

As soon as Marlon Wayans starts talking about his company's social media engagement and follower growth I immediately do not trust him

Don’t be fooled by the dusky seduction of its wedding night prologue: “On the Rocks” is far and away the least cool thing that Sofia Coppola has ever made. That’s not a criticism so much as a contextualization. If the perfume ad prelude cocoons you inside the same gauzy softness that made “Lost in Translation” so entrancing, “Marie Antoinette” so tactile, and “Somewhere” so tenderly siloed within itself, it only does so in order to cut a sharp contrast into the domesticity that follows. That’s when this fizzy champagne cocktail of a film jumps a few years forward, landing in the kind of marriage where the waters have become just a bit too calm for the people swimming in them…

miss sofia coppola said this one goes out to all the overthinkers out there and i honestly feel so attacked right now

sofia coppola and noah baumbach take alternate years to make films about ‘ordinary’ people who live in giant new york apartments and fly constantly like its free

Dear Sofia: You can just show up here and expect me to
SOMEWHERE 2020, the New York to that film's LA, a not-all-the-time father and an always daughter, gender roles and how we learn(ed) our expectations for those roles, fidelity (not just marital), all wrapped up in the bubble of privilege, and we're all older, a little more settled, and maybe not quite as cool anymore (except for Bill Murray). A tonic.

This movie illustrates pretty well what happens when you’re white and get pulled over by the cops.

Quando ficar velho, eu vou ser igual ao personagem do Bill Murray nesse filme!!

welp, safe to say that Godfather 3 resulted in some unresolved daddy issues between Sofia and Francis.

On the Rocks is a rom-com film that tells the story of how an insecure daughter and her flamboyant father teamed up to check if her husband is cheating behind her back. The fragility of marriage was carefully dissected in an hour and a half movie, by juxtaposing a failed marriage (the father) to a failing one (the daughter). Marriage is all fun and games until you realize that you and your partner have separate schedules to keep that you lose track of your relationship, leading to a rise of vulnerability and self-doubt. The concept of the film is honestly great, but its execution is incredibly lackluster that I sighed in relief when I saw the credits rolled, and I…
