    Fucking loved it even though I wanted to throw up at least twice.

    The fight scene choreography is genuinely the best I’ve ever seen. & wtf was that plot twist. 

    If Fallen Angels, Monte Cristo, and John Wick had a baby, it’d be Oldboy.

    I did enjoy watching this. Acts 1 & 2 were alright. It played out to me like a series of short black-mirror-like episodes. Some of them funny and thought provoking. But some of them failing in the same way Black Mirror fails. Cool concepts & dilemmas, but corny execution. Act 3 was just bad. 

    This was missing the artistry that made Parasite’s political agenda compelling. I’m not really one to defend the current administration, but what could have been effective criticism was instead blatant & kitsch.

    Lovely. 

    The B&W scenes & the cinematography in general were definitely a highlight. Can’t get enough of Robert Eggers’ creative direction. Our modern day Edgar Allen Poe. Need to watch again.
