    An annoying thing that I do/say all the time when expressing appreciation for some dorky thing is to say "Well you know what I like? Enthusiasm!" It's how I explain my appreciation for parades, awards shows, and other silly displays of earnestness.

    This is all to say that I am honestly mad at myself that I had never seen this until now. This is enthusiasm, the concert film.

    Sometimes you just want to watch something beautiful while you feel bad about the world.

    What we have here is a dreamer. Someone completely out of touch with reality.

    This movie has the most perfect production design I’ve ever seen. And the editing? And the soundtrack?

    We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.

    We somehow ended up with two best picture nominees that feel deeply, deeply French, neither of which is set in France or about French people

    The most negative thing I can say about this movie is that it doesn’t feature my personal favorite Dylan song*

    *Simple Twist of Fate, which was released about 10 years after the events of the movie take place, but still

    Objectively a terrible movie, but way more fun to watch than the Revenant.
