    Man, I’m real mad I never saw this when it was in theaters. I feel like that is the only true way to watch a movie like this.

    I’m torn because on one hand, you absolutely have to praise it’s gall and tenacity in regards to the cinematography and the feat that it is to pull off a shoot like this, but on another hand, for me, it really lacked a lot of narrative substance.

    But on another OTHER third…

    This holds up the second time around. I maybe even like it more.

    But I think this really just solidifies Robert Pattinson as one of the best of his generation. He does such a great job in this and locking into each of the versions of Mickey.

    Looking at the directors he has worked with and the characters he has played so far, he has an incredible resume. And I feel like he is just getting started. I hope he continues to chose interesting roles.



    Watched at Regal Carlsbad 12.

    You know, it’s a real shame that this is not great at all. Honestly, the idea for the film is pretty solid and I think could have been executed and done well, but it seems Emilia Pérez misses almost every beat.

    If something like this is beating the likes of Anora, A Real Pain, Challengers, The Substance, and even Wicked, then thats a sure sign that there is something significantly wrong in the process.

    I wanted to give this movie…

    Well, I do have to say that I was skeptical at first hearing that Chalamet was playing this role. 

    Being a big Bob Dylan fan, I was worried that it would be hard for me to see the character as the man himself, rather than one of the biggest stars working in Hollywood right now trying to do a decent impression.

    I must say, though, that Timothée Chalamet surprised me quite a bit. He truly embodies Dylan, from his mannerisms…
