Letterboxd — Your life in film

“Throw it all out. Except the part about naming the grave digger after me. You can leave that in.” 

thematically uninteresting (i've seen too much mid-century modernist stage plays to find this to be fresh). but the photography, sfx, accents and atmosphere were all lovely. i could watch a thousand more films with this kind of attention to period details from across a greater spread of geographies and time periods.

incredible start (art design on those graphics) and perfect ending pay-off. but i was genuinely squirming in my seat with boredom during those conversations with the actor and all the heroin hits.

the countryside ethnographic experience of "sweetgrass" (2009), but bees instead of sheep.

"You're taking a picture of a picture of a pitcher holding a pitcher."

WARNING: There's NO decent sleight-of-hand magic in this movie.

"F is for Fake" created this whole genre. A fraction of the new docs I see are about the making of the doc and include the director's memoir. Another fraction of docs does this blurring of fact and fiction: particularly around artists and their mythos. I'm a sucker for them all. This one wasn't as good as I had hoped but still delivered the goods.

I’m a sucker for those Short Term 12 vibes

so deep into letterboxd/film twitter that i actually watched this movie

shia labeouf should've been cast in this

the opening sequence is perfect.

the story is conventional, but at least it's anti-corporate/anti-fascist (yes, i'm looking at you Ready Player One)

asylum-seeking immigrants and the violence that follows them as they search for a place to call home

i only wish it was longer

Cordory jackets look great

so real

whoops sorry, late for work, busy masturbating
