The Worst Person in the World 2021
Nervtötendes Zeitgeist-Kino mit selbstverzückter Amelie-Off-Stimme, toxischen Knalltypen, ausgelatschten Talking points und hanebüchenen Sinnfindungs-Twists.
Alles sehr (selbst)gefällig inszeniert, netflixy-easy-on-the-eye, Renate Reinsve und die Flirts sind TOLL, der Soundtrack ist nett, und wie bei zB LALALAND oder DRUK frage ich mich, was eigentlich mit Figuren, Publikum und Kritikern nicht stimmt - oder mit mir. -
The Worst Person in the World 2021
Irgendwo im Gefühlschaos hat mich Joachim Trier verloren. Das Verlieben; endschön. Das Entlieben; zu leise. Die vermeintliche Bekehrung; des Filmes Verhängnis.
Renate Reinsve kann freidrehen, allerdings bloß auf der Leinwand, nicht als Charakter. Zu viel Abneigung entlädt Trier auf ihr, zu wenig Liebe zeigt er für ambivalente Menschen.

The Matrix Resurrections 2021
“Before we got started, we decided to stop by to say thank you. You gave us something we never thought we could have.”
“And what is that?”
“Another chance.”Love perseveres, baby! It’s the genesis of everything.

Final Destination 2000
very obviously a movie that is forever stuck in the early 2000s, but as an amalgamation of many different genre tropes of its era, this is just so much fun. every frame of this thing is brimming with so much teenage angst that it becomes borderline immeasurable, and the fact that the writers had the audacity to name a character ‘clear rivers’ is the cherry on top.
is the personification of death being used as a catalyst for giving alex his…

Triangle of Sadness 2022
Zynismus maskiert als Optimismus heißt es zu Beginn dieser ziemlich missglückten Satire,die sich zwar ein Kotz-Ballett mit Oligarchen erlaubt aber die Härte eines Family Guy Jokes scheut.
Dabei ist das zentrale Model/Influencer Pärchen im ersten Akt sehr interessant. Doch die Nummern-Revue auf der Yacht ist schon in seiner Substanzlosigkeit eine Frechheit.Der letzte Akt auf der Insel ist sicherlich ein Wertmüller-Zitat aber ohne Ziel, ohne Haltung. Und es ist auch nicht witzig. Wirklich nicht.
White Lotus hat sich diese Welten…

Bewitched 2005
Okay soooooo...I low key fuck w this? No one I follow on here has rated this higher than 1.5...and WHY? I HAD SO MUCH FUN! Nicole Kidman is thriving and I wish we had a lot more screwball comedies with her as the star. Even Will Ferrell has some pretty hilarious moments that elevate beyond his usual schtick. Michael Caine and Shirley Maclaine are delightful! Jason Schwartzman and Kristin Chenoweth are hammy as fuck! WHAT ELSE DO YOU ALL WANT??…

Senior Year 2022
The effort is appreciated, but unfortunately this doesn't hold a candle to the many better movies it's trying to replicate for nostalgia points. Everything feels too forced and inorganic.

Gloria Bell 2018
At first I left the theater feeling confused and as though I had missed something that I couldn’t put my finger on. I wanted to blame it on a film that felt oddly paced or just not great dialogue, but after a lengthy discussion with my girlfriend about the overall context of the film, it finally dawned on me: this film was not intended for me. How am I, a late twenty-something male, suppose to know and understand what life…

True Things 2021
Bleak, miserable stuff about a nice person being naive to the dangers of not nice people.
Ruth Wilson's great as usual but this is a film I can safely say I'll never watch again, and certainly not if I'm after any sort of pick me up.
