i took my friend to see this and a week later she said it affected her so much that she cried about it for an entire therapy session, which is probably yorgos’s ultimate artistic goal and would mean more to him than any of the major directing awards that he should be earning!

wes anderson: hey yorgos would you mind centering the camera
yorgos: nah i’m just gonna set it over here in the corner
wes: ...
wes: what are you doing
yorgos, placing the camera on the floor: ah yes...perfect
david fincher, hovering near the lightswitch: a bit bright for my taste

ALL I KNOW IS YOUR CARRIAGE AWAITS AND MY MAID IS ON HER WAY UP WITH SOMETHING CALLED A PINEAPPLE

Love it. Another film that I consider one of my faves of the year. Knock-out performances. Olivia, Rachel and Emma are of course fantastic and deserve recognition during awards season but I'm also hoping that Nicholas Hoult is recognized. I loved every minute of his performance.

Tell me you can achieve those beautiful close-ups of faces on digital and you're either lying or ignorant. Needless to say, it should be seen on the big screen.

I’m gonna back over movies of last year and older movies that I haven’t got to reviewing so soon go with movies that I’ve seen so far this year I’m also adding reviews of movies I haven’t reviewed. 

This movie, shocked me so much. This movie was released on New Year’s Day and it almost became my favourite film of the year, I was sure of it until Joker was released and quickly took the top spot. It was really funny and well shot and fantastically acted, it was also really interesting and a good story. Olivia Coleman was amazing, that’s all that needs to be said. She’s amazing this is, probably the best thing she’s ever been in, in my opinion. 

Overall I’ll give this film an A. 

So good

haunting, heart wrenching, homosexual rivalry, desperate to be loved, desperate to survive. what's not to love

lesbians and guns, tragedy and betrayal, queens and maids.

I loved this beautiful flim from start to finish

y’all say range and all i hear is emma stone.

period piece marathon #6 

Some proper manipulative drama queens.

Artistically this movie has a few things going for it, mainly the acting. Olivia Colman is not only well casted, but brilliant in the role of Queen Anne. Yet as I watch the movie there are things that keep grating at me. The music and sound is one of those, the other is the lack of substance to the characters, or rather to queen Anne who here is reduced to an easily controlled woman ruled by her illness, grief and romantic desires. In reality queen Anne was a politically invested, and present, monarch who according to Wikipedia "attended more cabinet meetings than any of her predecessors or successors". So while the movie was interesting and exceedingly well acted, I felt the real story is still not told and that this movie is worse because of it.

Equal parts hilarious, dramatic, and thrilling. Performances are amazing across the board and Yorgos Lanthimos is one of my favorite directors working right now.
