Letterboxd — Your life in film

Personally I think this ran way too long but on the other hand huge points for being a "Yes, and" movie that keeps finding new and genuinely surprising ways to play itself out. Serious commitment to the bit here.

My buddy Eric did this!

I was so into this...until. Come on nobody's taking big weird-ass swings like this except Night, and he's absolutely got the formal power to back it up. And then the last 15 minutes are complete shit that almost ruin the whole thing. Still, just on the tech craft alone, it's his best movie since THE VILLAGE.

At one point Baroness says "Oh, fuck this!" and leaves. Take her advice!

This is a fascinating work that of course probably couldn't live up to contemporary representational semiotics but for 1989 it's incredibly complicated and thorny without sacrificing simple melodrama. It's also packed with truly elaborate spectacle and tremendous performances. Good movie, quite Ford-ian in its way.

Is this what an NFT is?

Corny, derivative, retrograde. Embarrassing.

Objectively terrible, not to mention so panderingly exploitative it's almost corny.

Charges include: elision of any idea that's remotely interesting, filling your script with dumb characters bad at their jobs, and of course feloniously wasting Maura Tierney.

One of those things you assume is probably not as obnoxious or terrible as its reputation would suggest. And yet.

A tremendous and weird story of the tangle and mystery of loss.

I liked all the axe murder but sorry you can't make a summer camp slasher movie this sexless.
