Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles 1976

Another incredibly polarizing film that I don't have a very strong opinion on. The critics seem to love it. The public seems to hate it. Me? I thought it was alright.

Enjoyable and sympathetic film. Murder, like all things, is rather pedestrian.

My feelings towards this film is complicated.

I liked it, but I also hated it.

I found it hypnotic at times, but also very very boring.

I guess this movie does a good job of putting you in the shoes of a miserable and lonely woman.

[Filmin] Cinema has these grandeurs. Now praised by Sight and Sound magazine, it provokes an incomplete but necessary retrospective on streaming platforms of a director who avoided the "feminist label" that was awarded to her. Her cinema is more than that, it's a humanist cinema that observes what the surface shows to investigate what happens inside. Even different from the rest of her filmography, the representation of daily actions causes memories and identification to emerge. Those "Jeanne moments" that appear in certain daily actions and that bring back scenes that you didn't know had remained so impregnated in your memory.

Put off watching this film for years as i knew it would be rubbish. But now it’s no. 1 on the sight and sound poll, i thought i’d slog my way through it.

And yes it is trash.

Critics and pretentious pricks can intellectualise it all they like but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s boring, insipid, vacuous trash.

It’s garbage, just garbage.

And if you like this film, im guessing u think the emperor’s new clothes look awesome too.

Unless u want to watch it out of mete curiosity, avoid it like the plague.
