she/her, 21, infj-t,
this is me watching movies as escapism
indecisive and love making lists
my liked films are my faves
wow. just wow.
this trio perfectly embodies gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. it was so perfectly cast, with electric chemistry between all three of them. you could cut the sexual tension with a knife in literally every scene. amazing performances from all three.
i was literally on the edge of my seat, heart pounding, throughout so much of the movie. i loved how it was edited, cleverly revealing more of their past as they progressed through the challenger, until we were brought…
rewatched today with my mum and it hit even harder the second time.
its just full of a such important messages for all generations - young girls growing up now, and women like my mum who didn’t grow up with positive female role models and feminist ideas.
yes it was “feminism 101” and very spelt out, but it needed to be. it was spelt out on the big screen for everyone to hear, which is amazing. and it needs to be…
do why did no one tell me about bob dylan sooner…….
that was insane.
realistically i knew what was coming at the end, but it still got me.
the way the timeline was constructed was very clever, and it had some lighthearted and funny moments too. meaning i was just about happy and enjoying the film, and then it all got taken away.
some super poignant scenes such as the ice skating, and the parallels between the beginning and ending. so touching.
one of the most intense and engrossing things i have ever experienced. actually had my heart pounding. the fact that miles teller is actually playing the drums makes it even more mind blowing and real. an interesting narrative on mentorship and what it can take to make someone “great”. an amazing ending which kept me on the edge of my seat but was such a satisfying resolution.
i could instantly tell this would be one of my favourite films ever. romance, music, art, writing and most importantly women! what’s not to love. the soundtrack is beautiful, the sets and costumes are exquisite and the cast is impeccable. you could feel the thought that went into every shot and scene. it only felt like about 10 minutes and i just didn’t want it to end. poignant, with extremely moving acting and some very touching moments, topped off by a beautiful ending. loved it.
