“I suffered beside you. I was never silent.”
Having not yet seen all of the unrivaled Martin Scorsese’s feature films (I’ll be sure to remedy that before Killers of the Flower Moon next month), Silence was one that intrigued me deeply for some time. The adaptation of Shûsaku Endô’s 1966 novel tells the story of two Portuguese Jesuit missionaries on a dangerous journey through 17th century Japan in search of their missing mentor. The grueling trip will inevitably put their…
“…and yet I live.”
Completely unlike anything I’ve seen before. Anything in TV, in film, in fiction. Probably gonna need a bit to fully process it. David Lynch seems unlikely to make another feature film or season of TV (would love more than anything to be wrong), so this appears to be the end of my journey through his career. Seeing this as his 18-hour swan song and a return to his weird world with all its familiar faces, it’s…
“You let things happen to you. Do you think that makes you innocent?”
I… are Ari Aster and his mom okay? 😭
Yeah, I can definitely see how this ended up as the most divisive film of the year. Can’t believe I didn’t see this in theaters when I had every opportunity. I had heard by many that they were loving the first act and not so much the rest, so when it came time to sit down and watch…
“If people on a boat wave at you, you have to wave back. It’s a law.”
Ahhh this whole thing had me blushing. Has so many adorable romcom traits but also happens to look and sound spectacular. Raine Allen-Miller just gets it. Wasn’t really expecting much from a cool 82 minutes on hulu but this really blew me away. Hit all the right spots.
David Jonsson and Vivian Oprah (star in the making) radiate so much chemistry and charm. Was rooting for their characters so hard by the end I think I’m gonna bump up an extra half star. Very cute!
Spooky, gruesome, stylish, and just so unbelievably fucking rad. What an amazing debut for Michael Giacchino as a director, he did some phenomenal work here. And of course his haunting and bombastic score goes hard too. A warmly welcomed addition to this year’s spooky season.
Thanks to my boys Harry and Gus for watching w me
The album is absolutely phenomenal and this special here is really dope too. Really sweet and so incredibly gorgeous to look at. Whole cast was great and I really enjoyed being in that world with those characters. Keith David as Mr. Rager goes unnecessarily hard.
Proud of my boy Cudi 🙏
