Waited to watch this until after awards season because I know I’d be pissed if this didn’t win anything. I’m afraid I was right. I love Dune 😭 I know I said this about Mad Max: Fury Road, but if I could marry a movie, it’d be that one or this one
The opening scenes of Arrakis alone hooked me. Everything about this movie is so beautiful. There’s nothing I can probably say that someone hasn’t already said, but I would still love to express my undying love for this and Dune: Part One. This bangs, and I will be rewatching until Part Three.
This movie bangs. The parody of Dune actually featuring Jason Momoa alone was so good.
A man once told me that EEAAO was a perfect movie for lesbians and also for children of Asian parents. I said in my mind “sure okay buddy.” As the gay daughter of an Asian mom, he was absolutely right. I cried, I laughed, I missed my mom, and I cried even more.
It may seem dramatic, but my life in high school fighting with my mom felt like this movie. Despite all the fighting, I’m happy to confidently say…
Like Lady Bird but for Asians.
It looks incredible, and makes you feel like you’re in 2008 living with Chris. I felt happy, sad, enraged, and lonely with him through out the whole film. Joan Chen also ate down as his mother and I fear she is so gorgeous.
It is so wonderfully written and I love how Chris and his family’s struggles transcend generations. It’s so painfully relatable and I feel I’ve seen parts of each character throughout my own…
