this started out as a simple thirst watch for Thomas Mann and ended up in me finding a beautiful film. sometimes thirsting over a man leads to good things.
As a kid growing up in America, you tend to learn the layout from one of those maps that isolates the United States from the rest of the world, like it’s the only country on the continent — maybe the only one on the planet. Looking at it that way, without the land being hugged by Quebec on one side and New Brunswick on the other, Maine always seemed like more of a destination than a place where people stayed permanently. It was the summit of a staircase formed by the whole of New England, the tip of a finger that pointed out into the great unknown and away from wherever you happened to live, or wherever you wanted to…
i started crying during the part where they sing Beer Run cause when i was like 10 my dad tried to start his own drive through beer store called Beer Run and that was gonna be the theme song and i really fuckin miss my dad i need to call him
This film is 80% people staring at things.
An empty story, but it was nice to look at some pretty mountainous imagery and Thomas Mann's face for an hour and a half. There were some nice emotional points and interesting framing choices, but it was mediocre overall. There was a moment when Thoman Mann said he worked as a mascot for a minor baseball team that had the exact same name and character of the team from my hometown, so I've convinced myself his character is from my town for no reason at all.
fourth movie of laia costa cinematic universe and she’s still the same character
movie about pissing in the forest
Yet another underrated wee flick from Thomas Mann, this time helped by the brilliant Laia Costa who takes over. More of a bittersweet love story that shows off some beautiful scenery than a classic multi-layered romantic epic, it's not challenging at all but leaves a pleasant - if slightly sordid - aftertaste.
Worth it just for Thomas Mann singing Jessica Lea Mayfield’s “For Today”.
The language of silence, isolation, and intimacy
at one point in the film thomas mann's character asks laia costa's character why has he not seen her shave yet and then asks follow-up questions about her body hair and her husband's preferences and this is why men should not be allowed to write or make films about women, ever.
this made me wanna go on a hike with thomas mann but i wouldn't break his heart obviously
