someone buy that neighbour a new fucking tree
(-1 star for all the nudity and objectification - it’s definitely a product of its time, kinda makes it feel like a film made by horny male teenagers about being a horny male teenager but i guess that is partially the point? still, unnecessary and made me uncomfortable, and would have been better without it. i do understand the vibe they were going for with it, but do we really need that…
two hours of google propaganda, mediocre scripting, blatant basic boring film tropes and stereotypes, and an EXCESSIVELY long, degrading and uncomfortable (and tbh kinda predatory) strip club scene. there were some fun parts but overall this was just bad.
one star for montgomery montgomery (i love you a series of unfortunate events)
"professional is my middle name"
"i thought your middle name was danger?"
*shakes head* "that's a stage name"

oh...
visually, Blink Twice is incredible. save for a few shots that i personally found unnecessarily objectifying, i can't fault the cinematography. the colours, the sets, the makeup and costumes, the angles, the framing, everything was so stunning to look at. zoe kravitz clearly does have an eye for directing and, whilst i agree with a lot of reviews and discussions I've had that a lot of the shots and design choices…
