this movie is literally just 2 hours of Zendaya being a walking Aphrodite incarnate on earth and two tennis bros being down SO horrendously bad for her 🫡 what more could you possibly want, that’s peak cjnema babey !!!!
many, many good and great things about this movie to get into! (but I’ll try to keep it as focused as possible)
but first and foremost - the cinematography is unlike anything I’ve seen in any other recent movie that I…
turn on 😭 your location 😭 celine song 😭 I just wanna talk 😭
Such an exquisitely crafted film in every way and an extraordinary debut. This one really is for the Sally Rooney Normal People girlies who listen to Taylor Swift’s “Question…?” on repeat aka me
I was on the verge of tears the whole time and then just ended up fucking crying so hard like ffs — I don’t know how Song managed to pack so much unspoken tension into every frame.
I’m going to need 5-8 business days to process this
I knew shit was gonna go down as soon it was revealed that people were wearing those freaky ass Eyes Wide Shut type of masks 😭
(ngl it would be fun to see Millie Bobby Brown play a proper Scream Queen in other roles!)
pacing was quite decent, and I wasn’t expecting this to be so horror-influenced, so that was actually a nice surprise since they executed it pretty well!
reminded me of House of the Dragon a lil bit in some shots / instances too 🐉 but maybe that’s bc I miss the show 🥲
brilliant movie that everybody absolutely needs to watch, at the very minimum at least once
there’s something so sharply devastating about this movie ultimately — with all of the events that take place in its own cinematic universe, and in how it so accurately captures these tensions that still very much exist today
truly so excellently crafted on all fronts
📻💔🍕
This movie is just not for me, and that’s okay!
I respect others’ opinions, and can understand to an extent how much praise Poor Things gets.
But for me, the overall plot, dialogue, and messages / commentary it was trying to convey just didn’t work for my viewing. ☹️ The fish eye lens camerawork was also quite annoying and a bit distracting IMO! 😭
I think it’s just my own personal grievance when I feel like a movie crosses that…
AUSTIN BUTLER AND REBECCA FERGUSON OSCAR CAMPAIGN BEGINS NOW!!!
I know it’s WAY too early for Oscars predications but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest (is it too presumptuous to say it’s almost expected??? 🫣) if it gets a nomination for Best Casting*, no doubt getting nominated for numerous other categories too
(*however that new category is going to play out? apologies if I’m incorrectly understanding it — my point being is it’s a FANTASTIC ensemble cast and everyone…
