Watched this on the plane to Thailand and cried just like 10 year old me did when he watched it for the first time. I love everything this movie stands for and the message it’s trying to get across and I love Bethany Hamilton’s story and the courage and compassion she showed, to me that’s worth more than how objectively “good” this film is. Absolute tearjerker and a half.

Yeah this hits like a tonne of bricks to the back of the head. Fantastic performances all round, from Shia especially, and it features some of the best directing to come out of 2019 - Alma Har’el is a special talent. Not a film I’d recommend to everyone but if you’re a fan of LaBeouf you’ll probably adore this much like I did.

Think you're ready? You aren't. Trust me.

10 years have been leading to this. Leading to sadness, to anger, to confusion. Leading to the gutsiest blockbuster of all time. It doesn't give you room to breathe, not even for a second, and the sheer amount of excitement it brings to the table is off the richter scale. I don't want to say much because it needs a second viewing immediately but one things for sure, Thanos lives up to the hype.

Scene of the year goes to Gambino performing This Is America in sync with warehouse noises while simultaneously being a huge smartass. Give him the Oscar already, cowards.
