imagine going over to ricky's house for a dime bag and he's just sitting there watching a video he recorded of a dead cat in a dumpster or something and he senses your presence and says "i watch this every day at exactly 3:41pm. it reminds me that i'm not alone in the world" and then he starts crying and you're just like "ricky... the weed"

I feel like I've been in a coma for the past twenty years. And I'm just now waking up.

What is your purpose in life? How do you see yourself? How do you interact with other people? Is your life turning into one big routine?

This film teaches you how to look closer at life, discover new things, and have a better understanding and appreciation of human nature. Never judge a book by its cover; there is always much more hidden underneath the surface.

Incredibly funny, triumphs in all areas and is a crazy fusion of so many different genres. We can all learn something from this film.

An amazingly inspirational piece with a stunning score from Thomas Newman. Sam Mendes does us proud.

tag urself i'm the plastic bag that wanted to dance with wes bentley

lana del rey watched this and went "yep, i'm gonna base my career off of angela hayes"

I'd fuck daddy Kevin Spacey in an instant 🌹

UPDATE: This didn't age well. 😂

"Never underestimate the power of denial."

I can only imagine how sick everyone who worked on this felt after Spacey was revealed to be a giant waste of atoms. This has not aged well. I can understand why this was almost universally beloved by angsty people, but once you get older and experience life a little more you kind of realize how much of this feels like self-parody, with no one in on the joke. There are some wonderful scenes, sure, and Mendes is one of the greats, but I found myself saying "yikes" more often than I care to admit.

this couldn't have aged worse but so so good

had to watch this for english class. it was wholly and entirely pretentious and really uncomfortable at a lot of points and every man in this movie is the worst, but it was also pretentious enough that it was watchable. lots of thematic parallels to ethan frome by edith warton, but i can't be assed to point them out. the main redeeming factor to this is that kevin spacey's character gets a firebird and starts smoking a lot of weed, and honestly? those two things (and only those two things) are how i hope my life ends up.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

7/100 summer movies

something about this movie,,, didn’t quite do it for me like i wanted it to. it has an excellent score and some excellent performances, but i don’t know i just wasn’t necessarily connecting with it. some of it felt kind of full of itself in a way, ya know? i do have to say, i really enjoyed the entire last 10-15 minutes. other than that, i’m not upset that i watched it buuuut i’m definitely not upset that it’s expiring off hulu.

y'all are smoking dick giving this 4 stars.........

I don't know why this film has garnered the wide acclaim it enjoys. The characters were vivid enough, but completely one-dimensional. They all had one and only one defining characteristic that dictated their entire role in the story.

pure excellence literally pure excellence

wow don’t u just love films that make u think of life differently? there were so many moments where i was just captivated in the silence or stillness of one character’s facial expression or slightest eye movement. the actors’ performances were so strong i learned a lot just from the small things. each character was so different yet i could still find a way to connect or at least feel sympathy for them as they all had their own battle they were struggling with. NOT TO MENTION! the technical elements mattered so much too the cinematography, colors, editing AHHH. it was such a successfully moving piece because all of those aspects worked together so equally, naturally, and most of all beautifully. definitely one of my new favorites.
