I honestly don’t know what to write here
Still feeling a bit unsure about what I just watched but slowly piecing it together.
Let’s start with Ann Dowd, my The Leftovers fanboy is so pleased these days, watched a movie with Scott Glenn yesterday and then Ann Dowd in this today.
Okay, back to the movie, I was like “oh shit, didn’t see that coming” when that first crazy event happened like half an hour in.
And that happened a…
I love that this won Best Picture!
Hopefully a movie that can be described as a horror movie will soon win again.
Other than that this totally deserved the win, such a defining feature for crime movies as well.
Howard Shore scored the shit out of this, intense and haunting score.
Jodie and Anthony are both amazing, and as I mentioned at some other point, I love it when Scott Glenn appears in movies.

And as always with a bit of social critique from Bong Joon-ho, both in relation to how we are dispensable to our employers. But also how we treat that and those who are alien to us.
