    this has been my most anticipated film for about 4 or 5 months now, and it did not disappoint. what a fucking picture. ethereal from start to finish.

    Kani Kusruti is spectacular; she conveys so much in the smallest of expressions. the pain and yearn that she carries just radiates through the screen.

    i have no idea what to even say about the actual film though. for a film with no massively dramatic plot, or big, shocking moments, it touches…

    Alexander Payne Ranked

    what is it with Alexander Payne and unfinished novels. that's 3 films out of 3 that are all certified bangers💯 phenomenal director

    this really is brilliant, and deservedly hyped. I honestly loved every single main character - well, the students running for president. I hated the main teacher all the way through. that ending runs for so long too, pretty annoying to an otherwise stunning movie.
    Reese Witherspoon remains an absolute goat tho🗣️

    Election is about unreliable…

    stavvy is genuinely a pretty good film-comedic actor.

    other guy, don't really know him, was also good as the straight man

    kevin hart over here is simultaneously shit at acting, hilarious at line-delivery, and also just himself lmao. the tearing it in half line was delivered so well lmao you could tell even stavvy was creasing. want to see more of Mark in stuff like this. 

    great casting Salacuse🫡

    comedy! praise allah, keep queefing it up.

    really good show, on the cusp of 4 stars for me.

    Steven Yeun is phenohmeenal🙌🏽. terrific actor.

    just thought the dialogue is kinda wack a lot of the time and sometimes over-explains the themes or the characters' inner emotions. 

    first 4 or so episodes are really fun.
    the show sort of starts in a certain genre and aesthetic and ends up in a different one, but it's done quite naturally given the course of the plot (which again goes in…

    probably gonna just log each episode

    EPISODE 1:

    pretty good pilot. some of the dialogue is pretty pretentious, especially of a certain character in the beginning of the episode, but considering what happens 10 minutes in, it sorts itself out. the show perhaps doesn't have the same maturity that Matt Reeves' directorials have, but it does do pretty well to emulate it.

    really nothing original or inventive here, but it is still fun, and does what it does well. continuity-wise,…

    shitty ugly disgusting atmosphere that only Britain could produce. amazing.

    firstly this movie is generally pretty good. good plot (which clearly tlou takes inspiration off too), and excellent camera work. all the single-shot sequences are done so well and great to see. Clive Owen as well is great, and pretty funny. pretty much the only great performance in this.

    aside that, so many issues in this movie. filled with tons of shitty exposition, forced accounts of Theo and Julianne Moore's…
