I can definitely see why Mikey Madison got an Oscar for this performance. The movie itself is chaotic and fun at parts while still being able to be emotional and grounded. I loved the Russian guards the most and their dialogue/reactions to everything. Fuck you Vanya I hope you die in the Russian tundra you dumb fuck. Anyways, the guards being scared of Ani was one of the funniest moments by far.
This is a true masterclass in exposition and writing a movie with multiple narratives and an unreliable narrator. It’s perfectly weaved together to cause so much thought provocation and dialogue after the movie while still giving enough to actually comprehend what is occurring in the movie. I can already tell this will be a very rewarding rewatch the more and more I watch and uncover. First impression of David Lynch and it was a mighty good one. Billy Ray Cyrus jump scare.
I haven’t seen this movie in like 9-10 years honestly and I think it holds up pretty well especially actually being able to understand things going on now. My dad has never been more personified in a movie this definitely feels like his perfect comedy. Overall I thought it was fun and has a lot of great moments but I definitely enjoy no country for old men more.
Hot damn was this a good movie. I mean shit I would not think that a movie following the start of the oil industry in the mid to late 1800’s would remotely interest me let alone encapsulate me. There is a reason that Daniel Day Lewis is considered one of the best actors of all time and his talent is on full display in this movie. Paul Dano puts in probably his best performance in my opinion here as well.…
