    Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

    ★★★★

    Seriously underrated! 

    It’s always nice to see Steve Carrell doing something that isn’t blatant bonkers comedy. Adorable story, nice to know the mid-life / end-life crisis will turn out okay.

    A True Winter Warmer 

    Comedy/drama where the majority of the comedy is just Paul Giamatti’s lazy prosthetic eye switching sides in every scene.

    Seriously though - this emotionally poignant christmasification of Dead Poets Society has now made its way into my list of favourite Christmas movies. A genuinely touching story of two seemingly opposite, lonely people finding commonality and some sort of anti-friendship. It’s rare nowadays to have so much intricacy built into both character and plot in a film…

    what did i just watch? 

    someone should intervene the next time Ari Aster is given such a large budget - the man needs supervision. Weird-for-the-sake-of-weird freudian nightmare piece. Video essay filmbros are probably creaming over this though.
