    An unsubtle movie for unsubtle times. Really enjoyed this. Big and messy but I was never bored. Robert Pattinson is incredible. I think people dismissing the Mark Ruffalo performance as him doing Poor Things again is not a great take. 

    A real “feel bad” movie but like, looney toons energy. Don’t know how soon I’ll rewatch this but that’s nothing to do with me not liking it. Definitely need to revisit Okja after this. Also whoever is in charge, just let Bong do whatever he wants. We should want movies like this even if they’re unpleasant.

    Was fun watching this well past the hot take cycle. Would have been more fun if the editing was quicker.  Not sure why they went with the slow, meditative pacing. Give me Ocean’s 14.

    Christopher Doyle climbed up to god and said “Try to make something better looking than this. You can’t. You can try but you will fail”. 

    I kinda like to space out the masterpieces I consume by the same director. At this rate I’ll watch Fallen Angels in five years. Or maybe it’ll be tomorrow. Either way, this is so up my alley and I’m so happy there’s more Wong Kar Wai to get into after this. 

    Im not doing star…
