    Need to properly watch it, I watched it for a class and had to watch it through a psychopathological lens, altering my experinece. Nonetheless, this is an extremely fine take on mental disorders and has so much weight. Kinda like a teenage-girl One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Great acting, and that underground corridor scene was some of the finest eerie-fying work in cinema ever.

    If a movie has me moving in my seat in the theater it’s either a horror movie, or it’s really good. This movie is really good. 

    Bong Joon-ho is outstanding in so many ways, and for this film, it is honestly fascinating how he yet again captures the essence of humanity in a nearly completely different way than he’s ever done before (“nearly” because there are moments very parallel to Snowpiercer).

    Third watch in theaters, with NS, TJ, EN. I was a bit tired from work and slept through most of the movie, but I woke up at every needle drop and saw most of the end. Laughed especially at the fourth wall breaks and production jabs.

    Underrated AF. Forgive me if I'm hyping it up a lot, but it 100% deserves more hype than what it gets. 

    Imagine if Martin McDonagh and Michael Mann were roommates in their early filmmaking careers, and they decided to co-write and co-direct a police thriller - this is what Blitz is. 

    This is also probably my 8th Jason Statham movie this summer and boy oh boy I am not getting tired of him.
