I really like how much this movie loved the Whomping Willow. There were like 6 shots of just the tree shaking off snow, or shaking off leaves, or other things. It’s such a small detail in the grand scheme of things, but it’s such a magical thing to see that tree just doing its own thing and living somewhat peacefully.
At the beginning of the second movie, the willow destroyed the car Ron and Harry used to get to Hogwarts…
Easily one of my new favorite horror sequels. I think the best part of it is that it really doesn’t feel like a sequel, more of a continuation of the story. It also does a good job getting you right into the story without the need of long unnecessary expository scenes explaining everything from the last movie. It kept its 96 minute runtime which was more than perfect.
And yes, everyone is talking about the sound design. It’s amazing. I…
My first ever festival film in a theater (after over 60 at home throughout the last year) was a really good one. Riz Ahmed was really good, but the two kids did amazing as well. I don’t really have much else to say I enjoyed myself and liked the cool sci-fi element it had built up that was sort of timely and probably could’ve been a lot more annoying than it was. And seeing it in a theater was really cool too.
Hoo boy. Maybe this will be like a Tenet situation where it looks kinda cool and the sound is really good I just need subtitles to understand anything. I finished the movie about two hours ago and really can’t recall anything that really stood out to me after the fact. It juggled a lot and I feel like even splitting it into two parts is not enough to give this story the proper time it needs.
It’s not bad, I’m just really disappointed in how this turned out.

Dude being tall must suck. Imagine being asked "how's the weather up there" all the time. She had it a lot worse than me, I was just a closeted gay who cried for 3 days straight in sixth grade because I thought being gay was terrible and someone called me a faggot. But having to wear size 13 shoes? Truly heartbreaking.
Also when I went to Barcelona for a week no one spoke Spanish so idk where…
