Lovely little movie, surely you'd have to have a heart of stone not to come away at least just a little bit inspired.
Also there are so many little bits of Severance in here. The dolly zoom for transitioning between realities!! Adam Scott! That massive Icelandic guy!
The chemistry between Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon is what elevated this above a bit of a generic biopic for me. Think A Complete Unknown is a more well rounded movie of the two, but they make for a great pairing! Love the twenty year full circle moment of Cash writing a letter to Dylan in this and Dylan receiving said letter in a Complete Unknown. Highlight was Cocaine Blues at Folsom Prison but I wanted it to be an even more extended sequence, so iconic!
If you were in the Regent Street Cinema at 7:45pm watching this: you're the worst. Special shout out to the girl who took photos of the screen, spilled her wine, and Shazamed 'Father Figure' when it came on.
Movie was also not good.
Don't know to what extent that opinion is influenced by my experience of the audience. It certainly didn't help, but I suspect I would not have rated it very highly regardless.
Beautiful and really striking movie. The epic scale and the craft on show is just unbelievable, particularly on a 10m budget - unfathomable to me Hollywood would make one garbage Netflix original action movie than take a chance 20 x movies like this.
That said this movie is one of its own. I can immediately see why people are already throwing this into conversations with movie like There Will Be Blood. The score is absolutely incredible, the acting is phenomenal,…
