like if a coming-of-age movie was horror, but with a barely socially aware, whimsical diva as the main character!

    The performances in this movie blew me away. Amazing writing, both in dialogue and overarching plot. Captivating the whole way through, and so immersive. The use of editing and cinematography to further the themes of subjectivity and perspective are brilliant. So subtle, with so many important details just barely peeking out at you. I’d love a rewatch!

    Suddenly found myself watching a movie in an audience full of zionists. Can’t say I’m not open to differing perspectives? 

    In all seriousness, this was a really poorly structured attempt at addressing a really cool topic. Onwards with the Yiddish resurrection!!!!

    YOWZA! Kubrick had a crazy budget and a DREAM. 

    The first two acts are quite slow but still good. The third act is one of the most visually captivating I’ve ever seen. LOVE!

    Eh, it was alright. Visually it was beautiful and the acting was good, but honestly, I'm just confused about what Scorsese was trying to say. It's just a weird, traumatized guy who is mentally ill and then develops a savior complex. I didn't hate it but I didn't particularly enjoy it.
