    A lot of good sweaters in this. Still not used to Vincent D'Onofrio with hair. Not enough pizza 🥴

    ★★★

    That one film that folk who are into cinema feel obliged to like. Let’s be real. It’s dated but isn't at the same time which kinda adds to the whole atmosphere (sacrilege, I know.) When it initially dropped it must have been mind blowing but it really just doesn’t hit for me. Yeah, it’s all about the journey, but it can be incredibly dry, slow and dull. Not my fav Kubrick by any stretch but I still appreciate the hell out of it -  but it’s so engrained in the cultural zeitgeist that I dunno if that’s subconsciously affected how I look at it

    Enjoyed this more than I thought given the subject matter. I’m a sucker for latter half of the 20th century period pieces and really loved the look and direction of this. The writing was a bit schlocky but it’s super easy to picture these turbo capitalist dickheads saying all of that corny shit. Sebastian Stan smashed it tho (also low key love that Trump hates this)

    This was really underwhelming. A lot of other reviews on here that word it better than I ever could. Did find myself saying “Madison got best actress for this??” multiple times. Found her character incredibly irritating and seriously underdeveloped. We really don’t know anything about Ani until the last minute of the movie. Nothing about it really stood out as a best picture winner either - more proof that the Academy means absolutely nothing these days. The Armenian godfather and hired goons were great though and got some laughs out of me but that’s kinda it
