    I think dissenting opinions on art, and even to a certain degree willful contrarianism, are not only helpful but necessary when it comes to strengthening your own resolve with art. I love reading bad reviews of my favorite films, and I spend more time than I care to admit reading good reviews of works I disliked. Sometimes, my mind is changed, or at the very least I’m given insight I wouldn’t have considered otherwise. This is why I revisited Drive…

    “What are you supposed to be, Harry Potter?”
    “I’m Ruth Bader Ginsberg!”
    “Oh, what house is she - Hufflepuff?”
    “SHE’S A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.”
    “Oh... Slytherin.”


    Edit:
    It’s pretty wild that there’s been one guy who kept commenting for four and a half months on this review and getting his followers to do the same lmao. Scoob’s fine. I laughed a few times. I had fun. Letterboxd is currently full of normal, level-headed people who obsess over other people’s takes for months. It’s great here.
