Everything I want out of watching a movie.... “God was smiling on Dylan when he put pina Bausch in talk to her”

Masterpiece. movie where I weep halfway through for no discernible reason other than “I’m getting to watch it”

i dont know how to tag ayo but we had a gentlemens agreement to watch this film...............

this actually really meant something to me and im realizing that writing "reviews" cheapens the experiences im having watching these movies.... it feels like a shame to boil down how i feel watching mike leigh movies into rating them 5 stars and writing "wow! im an actor too so this was amazing! david thewlis is hot" under it. criterion has the full commentary with mike leigh and david thewlis and katrin cartlidge and im just gonna watch that and mind my own business

as ash falls from the sky and i cant find my inhaler from 4 years ago when i had bronchitis, i am moved to go to letterboxd and let it be known that i ALSO liked this universally well regarded movie, with a little asterisk that says "if one tries to make cameron diaz homely, one will fail.... and will have instead created a new and equally beautiful woman"
