  • A Real Pain

    A Real Pain

    ★★½

    first 20-30 minutes felt very engaging, an interesting plot is proposed. then, between the lack of chemistry of the whole cast, the underwhelming performances, the use of chopin's music and the film's lack of identity, everything falls completely flat. i wouldn't personally consider myself a fan of kieran culkin's performances in general, same with jesse eisenberg, and although they did have good moments. a highlight for me being the scene at the rooftop with the red lighting and awkward argument…

    i watched this movie yesterday and was waiting to digest everything, sit with the feelings it left me lingering with, and really take it all in when i was told this could also be seen as a metaphor for mother/daughter dynamics and that destroyed my soul irreparably kinda.
    you just know this is such a special and outstanding piece of art when it is so unapologetically straightforward with what it is trying to say and yet still it leaves room…

    Conclave

    ★★★★

    perfect sound design for a movie that is so intimately told, as if we were watching it all go down from behind Lawrence's shoulders. conclave has some beautiful relationship to the colors in the film and its photography only helps highlight it.
    there's something so familiar about the gossip aspect, it was so easy to enjoy. maybe it felt a bit pretentious sometimes? and the ending dragged out a bit too much for my liking. but this was SO fun to watch!
