cinematic feat by all means, especially loved the assassination attempt sequence… but can’t help but feel that the writing is disjointed. you get the sense that the dialogue isn’t written by someone who is native, which is understandable (falls flat in its humor, i feel. very cartoony, idk).
the vision is there, loveddddd some scenes. it’s just the dialogues i have an issue with
theater kids are never insufferable… everyone else is just BORING
jimmy tatro’s himboness amidst all this is such a treat to watch, honestly one of the greatest comedic elements of the film
bagi yang memercayai dan meromantisasi cinta abadi, this is THE movie. THE golden standard for star-crossed lovers. fuck romeo and juliet, honestly.
bagus banget. speechless. dari shot pertama udah bikin nangis. udah itu aja.
really wanted to like this film, but it did not quite resonate with me as emotionally as i wanted it to. technically flawless, visually sumptuous (referring especially to scenes in the Ekdahl home), and I clearly do perceive its dickensian and novelistic exposition styles. things are tied together in a tastefully unfinished way (or rather, unexplained), justified through the fact that neither time, space, nor reason do exist as they should in alexander’s lens. but this “bow” puts me at…
