    What a fantastic duo + I fucking love Maude Apatow so much. 

    Super funny! That’s all though.

    This kind of love story pisses me off because the character’s decisions I just feel are kind of unrealistic? Then again what the fuck do I know. It was a different time and in a country where the standards of love are drastically different. 

    Anyways, this was beautifully made and the score was awesome! Another film that uses mirrors so well, really vibed with the ending too. Pacing and editing threw me off from time to time but I get why it was done that way.

    I am kind of embarrassed how long it took me to watch this. One of the most thrilling, sadistic, and unsettling films I have ever seen. Loved every second of it. 

    Jodie Foster has always been and always will be a badass. Such a good role. Every exchange between her and Anthony Hopkins opens up another layer of the story. 

    So many great writing decisions that leave you wondering what’ll happen next. Banger!!!

    RIP Gene Hackman. Absolute master of the craft. 

    A little back to back Frances McDormand never hurt anyone that’s for sure. Who knew little baby Wilem was so hot. 

    It’s always interesting when the crime happens in the first scene of the film, and the audience is aware and gets to slowly watch the characters find their way to the answer. I really like that

    Anyways, fuggggggg the south, good movie. A really solid 4.

    Edit: the shots of the FBI agents just posted up outside waiting for the Klan bruhs was just so sick and iconic. Half a star baby
