I wish I had a frame of reference to measure Timmy's performance against but I had little to no knowledge of Bob Dylan prior to watching this. I found Chalamet magnetic despite that but the film itself drags.
I got the theme of a changing world and peoples obsession only with what has come before, and how Dylan's music mirrored that, but my god do they beat you over the head with it.
One of those films where the performances…
Ticked every box - tugged on the heartstrings, looked phenomenal, had a Rocky-esque training montage, and Bill Nighy.
The third act lost me a bit, but I couldn't fault the first hour.
How is 'Kiss the Sky' not nominated for Best Original Song?! That sequence was *chef's kiss*.
Love it, love it, love it.
It's loud, it's manic, it's pure excess, and it's glorious. Chazelle has made what feels like his dream project with no limits and no restraint. There's moments of indulgence where he might get carried away, but he had a very clear vision for this and stuck firmly to it.
Brad Pitt is his usually effortless and charming self while Margot Robbie is FLEXING! Flashes of Harley Quinn throughout.
Like Top Gun and Elvis, a film I walked away from thinking...MOVIES BABY.
Groundhog Day but it's Matt Smith saying the same line 46 times.
Juxtaposing the romanticism that surrounds the 60s with the abuse and exploitation that was so rife at the time was a concept that entrigued me from the start about Last Night in Soho. But a combination of poorly established characters and relationships, along with some comical dialogue and weak horror elements meant it fell completely flat and lost all its weight.
Eloise's first night back in the 60's…
