    ON LYNCH:

    Lynch was, simply put, one of the greatest to ever do it. 
    He has made some of the most discomforting and at times confusing art I have ever seen. Art that lingers, that attaches to you and refuses to let go. 

    His filmography, more than any other filmmaker I know, demands obsession. To be poked, prodded, questioned, and processed. 
    While achieving this in his art he also appears - to an outsider - to be one of the…

    film feels a little too long/paced a little too slowly

    i am endlessly surprised by disney’s ability to tell entirely pointless stories, void of any tension or desirable resolution 

    there isn’t much to say. this was the most nothing movie i have ever seen, a complete waste of time

    there was no need for that israeli woman to be in this, an undoubtedly evil woman who proudly served in the idf despite being medically exempt. i did not and would not support this financially (not that it matters), and instead…
