    Can’t tell if this was actually really good or if the movie was just holding me emotionally hostage by drowning a cat for 90 minutes…but it worked.

    Reciting These Eyes by The Guess Who in Persian has to be one of the dumbest, most beautiful things I’ve seen in a movie in a long time.

    In this instalment of Criterion Does Me Dirty:

    -I’m so curious how they cast the main kid. “Does he look evil enough? Is the urge to whack him over the head strong enough?”

    -I never thought I’d have to say this, but I draw the line at having the 11 year old going down on the 24 year old actress. Or maybe it’s all the cousin fucking. Might’ve been all the raw fish-eating, the casual raping or having to follow…

    Look, it’s not good and has nothing to say that my dad hasn’t already said to me after a couple of glasses of Coppola wine (ie: children are the future! America is the next Roman Empire! Let’s have a debate! I see both sides! Aubrey Plaza woof woof woof!, etc.). But Shia Laboeuf gets an arrow shot in both his ass cheeks, and folks, at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.
