lets go to the beach-each lets go change our age
honestly the comedy of year, feels like every member of the cast was given a different interpretation of what the beach actually does mentally and physically. expecting a drinking game to develop as a companion to the film, ‘take a shot everytime someone introduces themselves with their profession’.
every damn kid in an M. Night movie always gotta be like: "I can excuse the supernatural, but I draw the line at my parents getting divorced"
these characters interacting is just like talking to your friends parents while high

M. Night Shyamalan's formal elegance is basically unmatched here. No one is doing it like this. Shot to shot, this is a joy to watch. Truly intelligent filmmaking. Shyamalan and DP Mike Gioulakis put some serious work into the language. Zooming in and out in the middle of a rapidly spinning dolly shot is just the tip of the iceberg. What an efficient screenplay, too. Condensing time into one 24 hour period, yet still allowing for a gradual escalation of stakes and information within the genre trappings of a thriller, all while laying the groundwork for an overtly sentimental examination of life's impermanence. The existential dread really sneaks up on you. All of the typical Shyamalan motifs are here, from mentions of Philly to his director cameo to the tortured family dynamics etc. You won't mistake Old with the work of anyone else, and that's a beautiful thing.
some of the boldest, brashest, most deranged american filmmaking in ages. shyamalan is actively, furiously resistant to the most basic tenets of hollywood form, extrapolating his earliest tendencies (like keeping actors off-screen while they deliver dialogue to the person who's on camera) to new extremes, and coming up with startling compositions that push the subjects of a shot to the absolute edges of the frame, even of visual comprehension. this is m. night in full gonzo mode, like if the village got overclocked so hard it caught fire. i was literally bouncing coming out of the theater. there has not been a better image-maker in movies for the last twenty years than m. night shyamalan, and i honestly think this might be his best work. beyond next-level. i could not be happier right now. OLD!!!!!
must a movie be good? is it not enough to have the opportunity to lean over to your friend when m night shyamalan is on screen and whisper to them "that's the guy who directed the movie"?
