I fucking forgot that this came out in 2024 and decided to rewatch it because of the Oscar nominees.
On a second watch this shit is just 😭 it’s something else. I have so many thoughts and feelings that I can’t even begin to like put into words but just know that this is fantastic and any criticism I had previously I take back. This film deserved so much more attention and analysis than what it was given and that makes me incredibly sad
if I rated movies still id bump this up to a 5/5
This is just absolutely fantastic and I find it incredibly depressing that the reviews for the film are either comparing it to other vampire movies or turning it into some The Shape of Water freaky shit. me when femininity and women’s sexuality in film is explored in a meaningful way that isn’t her falling in love with her oppressor: 😱🤔❓
I started typing out an essay but I can’t express my thoughts clearly enough here. TLDR; Robert Eggers has once…
okay so it was peak and then like the last like 20 minutes happened and now i feel underwhelmed and unsatisfied. so what now. also like why is it whenever there’s a funky Groundhog Day loop deal thingy there’s a romance that feels severely underdeveloped and unbalanced bc half of the development and chemistry happens off screen in loops we don’t see like why do they do this
Astrid picked out the only twink in the whole village that’s a dub
