Jack Quaid is so so so good like always but man I wish this had more interesting things surrounding him. There’s a plot twist near the mid-point that kinda rips a decent chunk of the tension from the story, but the action set pieces and different ways they’ve found to do horrible things to Jack Quaid are fun.
Wish it was more, but fun is the perfect word for it. Just fun.
That Chappell needle drop was dope as hell though so +2 stars 5/5
So much fun!
Heartbreaking this surprisingly dryly-funny and quirky spy thriller is flopping, but it’s just a great time at the movies, especially for a whodunnit fan (this literally ends like an Agatha Christie story).
Everyone is really great, but Fassbender has such a dry way of speaking here that works so well in this weird spy world, and also makes him so immensely funny.
The script is pretty airtight and the film also just looks great, I love a good oner to open your film.
Catch it if you get the chance.
I had to sit and think about Longlegs, and then I had to sleep on it, so if this film does anything, it leaves you thinking about it hours after credits have rolled.
Longlegs is an immensely stylish film, with a lot of wonderful voyeuristic cinematography that is technically superb, but that can’t help it from being vapid horror-mystery that doesn’t succeed at either. And sadly, I think this is all due to a great, but not for this film,…
A truly abhorrent film without an original bone in it’s body, feeling like a line of fan fiction stories about Beetlejuice, with no interconnecting material to string them together. The original Beetlejuice is one of the only highlights of Burton’s career in my opinion, and this is a sputtering, careless attempt to grasp at any goodwill of the original film, with no want to make a quality product, but the want to make money, and nothing more. At least it succeeds in that regard.
Truly abysmal.
