Letterboxd — Your life in film

I wish I were even somewhat immune to how cool this is, but I’m just not! Nothing comes close to being as cool as the last hour of this movie, and the fact that an entire genre has taken from it for the past 20 years is proof. Arguably the best fight choreography in an American movie to date. Most importantly without this movie there would be no Alyx. Also, my first viewing where I realized it takes place in Chicago. So glad we have that <3

This movie is far too long and slow, and the dialogue especially in the exposition about the firm is painful at times but… Tom Cruise does a backflip for no reason in the first 5 minutes. And Holly Hunter is wonderful. Bring back mid tier legal thrillers like this

Accidentally watched two incest-adjacent teen movies back to back. the 90s were a different time

Just curious if at any point someone suggested that Selma Blair should play this…. differently

She did what she had to do.

Nothing I can say about this that isn’t summed up by a whittled dildo of the Virgin Mary

Catching up on old reviews here. Not sure I’ve seen anything that so perfectly balances humor and tension like this movie. A real banger of a classic.

Subverts the expectation of something darker and more depraved. So tender it was at times painful. But they had me at Leonard Cohen striptease.

Never thought I would be this emotionally distraught over some pigeons but here I am 

(Side note: Marlo Stanfield cameo. I would like to believe this is secretly the origin story of how he became fascinated with pigeons himself)

The agonizing irony of an insatiable wanting, played out by the hottest people you’ve ever seen.

While I loved the anthological structure, I could have watched a full length film on the Benicio del Toro storyline. Adrien Brody at his funniest and most free. It’s been so long since I watched a movie where I walked away happier and more human after seeing it. What a delight.
