(former) film school girlie
i have a masters in film studies so my opinion should be taken seriously
Watched this for the third time as part of a Greta Gerwig double feature (this and Lady Bird, sorry Little Women).
As much as I love this movie I do think that upon this (third) rewatch, it can be a bit on-the-nose and also it is maybe slightly too long? But also being on-the-nose is probably part of the reason it was so successful and resonated with so many people, so maybe that's actually a good thing?
Will have to…
I checked myself before I Shreked myself and as a result this installment in the Shrek story is an improvement over the Dreck that was Shreck the Third.
Filled with dark, dark humor nearly to the point of exhaustion, In Bruges is remarkable for also being deceptively poignant at times. Normally I don't like Colin Farrell but his character was excellent in this, as were the always reliable Ralph Fiennes and Brendan Gleeson. It's a hilarious, violent and unforgettable picture set in the beautiful city of FUCKIN' BRUGES.
