Letterboxd — Your life in film

I say this in the most minnesotan way possible: oh jeez

realized i've never logged this. just wanna say this and creep 2 are super great compared to most jump scare movies. they do the whole sub-genre super well and in a really interesting and engaging way imo.

Tarantino showed up to the screening. Not only did I see the man in person but I TECHNICALLY watched a movie with him. Cannes is fucking sick. But yeah I really liked this a lot, felt very in control and was consistently throwing new ideas at the wall and they were working. Great performances and cinematography, loved the structure, would happily check it out again.

this shit Boring

I was there for the premiere. I watched this with Gaspar Noé in the room. I cannot emphasize how unwatchable the last 20 minutes are. He wanted to clear out the theatre. Jesus fuck, my eyes. Literal paramedics waiting outside the theatre. That’s the review.

green book

Hate to compare but it’s like a dull Yorgos Lanthimos film. With stale dialogue and a unique score that feels like it’s screaming at me to feel nothing, this film felt so static. I wanted to love this, and I will definitely be paying attention to whatever Hausner does next because this was stylistically great. But this felt like a big pile of nothing. I don’t want to say it’s boring but it’s certainly not FASCINATING, it’s just somewhere in the middle. Funny ending though!

I’m definitely checking out everything Ken Loach has done, starting with Kes. This was tragic and the saddest part is how real it is. The way it covers the fear and depressing aspects of literally normal people is...so smart, I am not doing it justice. Too many thoughts!

felt bad for falling asleep for 15 min until I realized everyone fell asleep during this. where is youtube’s 2x speed function when you need it.

Takes a bit long to get going and a bit long to cool down but everything in between is batshit crazy in the best way.
