Letterboxd — Your life in film

Honestly just a fun little film, a pretty good time all around. It might even be the laugh out loud comedy of the summer.

By far the funniest Disney movie that we will ever get, and it’s not even close.

would you still love me if I was a chair

who gives a fuck about movies?

I don’t care about the majority of this film, but what I do care about is Tilda Swinton.

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

Put my photos on your wall, stay awake all night, and think solely of me.

Tip to toe, that’s a Darren Aronofsky film. The guy’s a melt, but he knows how to make a movie. Conceptually, it’s probably the least interesting film he’s made for me (maybe barring Noah, although that get a bit weird with it), but it works a lot better than I thought it would, in no small part to the excellent performances. Brendan Fraser absolutely deserves the Oscar that I’m sure he’s about to receive. Difficult watch as always, thanks Darren.

There’s something a little bit sad about the fact that in the past couple years Steven Spielberg has been making some genuinely incredible films, and yet they are met with apathy at the box office. The fact that both this and West Side Story were both flops is a tragedy.

A decent portion of this film is just Joy bullying Sadness, and I don’t enjoy those parts.

I’m going to have “put that thing back where it came from or so help me” stuck in my head for at least a month.

This was one of the Disney films I had on VHS when I was a child, which is a big reason why it’s probably still my favourite Disney film to this day. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s an incredibly beautiful film with a soundtrack for the ages.
