  PlayTime 1967

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Delightful! Went into this movie thinking that it was your typical French comedy from the 60s, but was in complete awe of it by the end. I’m impressed at how well the movie came together and the sheer scale of it.

  ★★★★½ Watched 17 Nov 2023

  I'm so glad I saw The Holdovers at the theater, and it's probably the perfect movie to watch there, especially during the holiday season. It was a lot funnier than expected, since we weren't given much from the trailer. I enjoyed watching it with the audience and laughing along with others at Paul Giamatti's witty dialogue as well as his insults through leveraging his knowledge of the classics, giving the character a lot of depth. His performance working in tandem…
