Profoundly beautiful. 'I'm still Here' captures the Kafkaesque absurdity of a dictatorship, the cruelty inherent in this type of system and a snapshot of defiance in the face of this cruelty.
The film first makes you fall in love with the way of life of the Paiva family in 70's Brazilian Society with some awesome needle drops and great use of montage. Then as the film slowly transcends into a something out of the Trial - we feel that world…
Very fun and brimming with tense energy. Between the awesome soundtrack, fresh visual tricks and a tight sparring script, Challengers is gripping and exciting. Josh O'Connor eats up every scene he is in and bounces off well with Mike Faist. As someone who typically finds Zendaya to be quite one-note and 'stick-out-like-a-sore-thumb-y', this is definitely one of the better performances I've seen from her.
Despite having a great time with this, I didn't fully connect with it on a deeper level and haven't thought a great deal about it afterwards.
Who won at the end - surely Patrick right?!!?
My first film of the Sydney Film Festival, and my first ever premiere! Even better, it was the Australian premiere with Austin Butler as a special guest!
The red carpet, all the glitz and glam and, the celeb appearance from Feyd Rautha made this a really special night.
The Bikeriders is technically unobjectionable, very well performed, particularly from Jodie Comer, well paced and generally a good time! Even more, this has got a star studded cast with Butler and Hardy…
How is anyone hating on this??? Its freaking epic.
A truly massive swing with nobody holding FFC back. What a delightfully unique experience!
