I've been exploring the Argento movies recently and Suspiria has been on my watchlist for ages. I'm sort of glad it wasn't my introduction to his work, because this one is an absolute masterpiece and probably would've set the bar way too high.
What a journey... Suspiria grabs your attention right away and doesn't…
Perhaps one of the smartest, most enjoyable and enchanting uses of color in any movie ever. La La Land looks... magical, unlike anything else, a fairytale in a movie making landscape. The way Damien Chazelle was able to tell such a realistic yet surreal and dreamy story is beyond me and a sign of both talent and hard work.
One of those movies that really grabs my attention when it starts and refuses to let go until the very end.…
I love that an entire century later, that sequence is still iconic... as it should!!
The first time that I fully watched it and not just a scene in class, but it certainly won't be the last time. Rating could go up, as this is such a timeless classic and just 74 minutes of fun.
Enjoyed it as a kid and always assumed it was like a 3 or something... Well, rewatching made me realize that this is actually a big pile of 'meh', leaving me very very disappointed. Does work for the target audience.

Birdman is one of my favorite movies because of the way they tell this story. It's a masterpiece when it comes to dialogue, acting, camerawork and aspect. It's a great story with meaning and strong scenes. There's humor, tension and such powerful creativity.
While watching it, it would've gotten 100%, which is extremely rare. However, my opinion changed at the end of the movie. The story gets a really powerful ending, but…
Visually stunning
Absolutely clever
Consistently tense
Gorgeous designs
Incredible acting
There's a lot more, but I'm just enjoying my afterthoughts for a moment.
I'm really close to giving it the 5...
