    You can all stick your champagne flutes up your rose-smelling, candy tasting Snow White fucking assholes!

    Glad to finally check out Damian Chazelle's inarguable magnum opus. As a huge fan since Whiplash came out, I've found his career fascinating since he has never missed in my opinion. Masterpiece after masterpiece after masterpiece. This is why I'm genuinely kicking my own ass right now for taking damn near 3 years to watch his best film. I don't know why, but better…

    Southland Fails


    Definitely flops in most regards Coppola is aiming to be effective in, but baffling in a way few movies are. Like Harmony Korine’s Aggro Drift, you can feel that there is an artist pulling the strings that is frustrated with modern cinema, throwing everything he can at a wall. Clichés, corny dialogue that even the Wachowskis would bat their eyes at, and intoxicating maximalism all firing at full blast without any hint of snark or cheekiness. Earnest in its emotional core, but built upon a foundation lacking anything resembling nuance.

    A real treat, and an engaging glimpse into a genuinely wild artist’s brain.

    One of the greatest romance films, and a wickedly touching thrill ride. My eyes were not dry for the last 20 minutes.


    If you are truly wild at heart, you'll fight for your dreams.

    Truly can't remember the last time a movie truly made my stomach hurt this much, both from laughter and disgust.

    Effectively blends styles from so many great films that came before it, while also retaining its own identity and earning its place aside the titans that came before it. Building from the most iconic works of both David Lynch and David Cronenberg, among other sicko genre greats, Coralie Fargeat sculpts her masterpiece through a wholly original and exciting vision.
