Letterboxd — Your life in film

Okay but this was super wholesome? There’s something extremely comforting but still exhilarating about a classic Jane Austen inspired movie- you know exactly who the love interest is but you’re still fully invested in all the character growth. 

I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel like filmmakers have also gotten better at making period pieces more relatable? As in we’ve finally cracked the code for keeping the period but having fun characters who are just as human, loveable  and pathetic as modern times.

An important story to tell but I think it’s a lot to grapple with- the balance of reality and gratuitouty is intense and I’m not sure it succeeded. Regardless it was overall an incredible and important film that I think is the worth the watch if you can stomach the horrors.

Okay but can we talk about how George Clooney was an absolute ten? Imagine I'm doing that French chef kissing gesture. He was a fine boi.

This is one of those films as well that is a great film but was absolutely a product of its time. Like, if it was made today it probably wouldn't fly as easily with its comedic blackface scene.

I also can't believe it took me this long to get around to watching this film.

In a world of sequel fatigue, Incredibles 2 is a breath of fresh air to the Marvel landscape. Pixar decides quite boldly to keep its sequel as contained as its first, continuing to explore the relationships and characters of a somewhat nuclear family. Despite the fun superhero-ness, this is ultimately about family values and parenthood (and gender norms in such a family). It's nice that a kid movie is ultimately for its tired parents.

Deadpool is a movie that really struggles with deciding what film it wants to be. Do you want to be a superhero film or an edgy film? The first half of this film is like any other Marvel work. Sad dude is sad because wife dead. It's kind of boring, considering the lack of empathy we have for these characters as a whole.

There are some good jokes thrown in, but most fall flat. Terry Crews was absolutely underused and it is an absolute crime.

You know that feeling when you want to support your local Australian film industry but they continue to produce uninspiring trash? That's this film. Nothing like vapid men abusing women in their journey of enlightenment.

It's a no from me.

Beautiful film and excellent concept. It was drawn back but its unnecessary infedility plot which took away screen time from developing the story.
