    Thoughts from a Nashville native:

    Bring back this airport instead of BNA

    Put that damn confederate flag away

    Glad to see Nash traffic has always been this comically bad

    Bring back bluegrass

    What did I say about the flag

    Should have just cast Dolly herself

    I’m glad that didn’t happen to Phoebe Bridgers when I met her at the Parthenon

    They could remake this with 24 Belmont music students

    This is like the movie if that makes sense

    This was completely mesmerizing. At some random point while watching water trickle down the forested screen, the whole movie hit me. Beautiful and captivating. An ambiguous yet important portrait of modern life.

    Felt cinematic in the best and worst ways possible. I think I’m just so used to smaller indie movies that the colors and setting felt too much and too realistic. I think the Broadway and original movie have such a charming feel that was lost in translation from Chu’s somewhat bland direction.

     All that to say, it was a hell of a ride. Beautiful performance. Really brought back an appreciation for musicals. Super blockbuster but you know, maybe that’s what we needed.

    Loved this film, but initially struggled with this a lot. Super fun film until it wasn’t. 


    Took me a bit to realize why it felt so weird. The more Baker throws us into a super fun, screwball-comedy, chase, the less he is concerned with his titular character. Ani’s character development is just lacking. Her choices are inconsistent in the respective acts. And these almost break the film for me. 


    I don’t know what to think. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but…
