This has been a wonderful year for movies. EXCEPT Emilia Perez
Pretty great time. Robert Pattinson flexes his range impressively, he’s on goat watch fo sho. It’s a pretty unique concept that they played out pretty well. I think the biggest flaw of this film is just trying to do a little too much instead of focusing on one major theme or challenge to explore deeply. They started to flesh out the trauma that dying repeatedly bring you, then switched more to the existential crisis of meeting a clone of yourself,…
Liked this more than I thought I would. Unlike many other bio-pics I don’t think this completely lost the balance between showing a persons admirable qualities and their horrible ones. It showed he’s a douchebag but it didn’t go straight requiem for a dream like many biopics default to. Now if Bob was no longer with us that might have been a different story but thankfully we have a product that is accurate, entertaining, and made with care.
Give Timmy…
Yeah so what this story lacks in entertainment, accuracy, quality, emotion, and sincerity it makes up for in… uh wait yeah that’s actually about where the balance is at.
This is such an important and beautiful time for queer cinema, soooo why oh why oh why is this the one winning golden globes and breaking records. It’s ridiculous and sad that this is what is still being made, I mean there is muuuuch more evil portrayed than good by this…
Day #2,356 of ineffectively boycotting Disney (watching their old content, accidentally making them money in doing so, then ranting about modern day Disney to absolutely nobody on Letterboxd)
I think my favorite line of this whole movie is also my biggest critique of Disney. It’s Phil to Herc in “One Last Hope”
“To be a true hero, kid, is a dying art,
It’s like painting a masterpiece, it’s a work of heart”
I get chills every time I see that…
