Hey, if Kiki can do it, you can do it!
uhm.. stale, kinda boring, the russian caricatures made me puke in my mouth a little every time. yelena and nat are everything and carried the whole thing. also why were the special effects and the general set design looking like they were straight out of a CW DCU tv show i dont get it
would like to personally thank studio ghibli for being comfort in the form of film, giving me a nicer outlook on life and generally just going “well if human kind can make a movie like this then maybe it’s not so bad out here”.
This movie would have given me nightmares if I had watched it as a child :weary:
i literally could not physically look away from this movie for a second. wow.
I miss Robin Williams so much :(
Cute little coming of age story with beautiful visuals and score, but the love story was boring and annoying.
super sweet and I love the way the story is built. idk why, though, I didn't feel the romantic chemistry between Crystal and Ryan, I cringed when they kissed - they really did work better as friends.
well, thank FUCK i watched this in two separate sittings or I would need a week to recover - still might. I mean, technically this film is one of the best I’ve ever seen - some sequences are just breath taking, particularly the climax. Plot wise, it’s disturbing and sickening but the progression is done so fucking effectively that I can’t help but love it. This is Clockwork Orange on drugs - I’m never gonna watch this again, but you MUST watch it at least once in your life.
I reaaaally thought this was going to be my first 5 :star: movie in a while but that third act was a little too Hollywood for my taste. I freaking love them tho :sob:
Not sure if it’s cause I watched this while hangover or because I miss Southeast Asia so freaking much, but my god MY GOD. this film touched me deeply. What a gorgeous story, what beautiful animation, what a magical journey. I have found my new comfort animation movie:blue_heart:
Just too much pretentious hipstery “oh my god your taste in music is amazing :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:” shit for me. The themes of friendship and Charlie’s arc are generally interesting and beautiful tho.

I watched this when it first came out and didn’t really get the hype. I’ve read the book recently and have updated to being of the opinion that both it and this movie are just all around solid works. The adaptation here is done wonderfully, just faithful enough to please the reader but with a directioral fingerprint from Fincher that’s just enough to be satisfying to the viewer. Rosamund Pike is obviously the star of the show, the perfect casting for one hell of a character. It’s been great to be immersed in this twisted tale for the past few months.
For Taika Waiting atop Torre dos Clérigos!
Honestly really good for its genre and compared to other films of the sort that have been getting made recently. Emma Stone is the baddest motherfucker.
God, finally, i was starting to think I didn’t like super hero stuff anymore. TONY LEUNG I WANT YOUR CHILDREN.
Rating or reviewing documentaries on topics you know nothing about - well, apart from what the documentary has taught you - is always a complicated task. However, I can look at it from a cinematic perspective, and The Reason I Jump is an absolute achievement - a deep dive into the autistic experience, making the most of what this medium can give you in terms of audio and image. The storytelling here is done with so much respect. It’s grounded and open, allowing space and time for each subject to get their moment. So good.
I commend this movie on the conversations it prompts, and I honestly feel like it’s a great tool to use to suss out what someone’s view on love and relationships is - just make them watch this and ask what they think! and it truly has some incredible dialogues and acting, just like the first two. but I truly cannot get behind it and its message.
i really think they fucked up with this one. however, i still rate it highly because regardless of that disastrous last scene, the rest of the film is genuinely good and it does make you think, and that is primarily what we should ask of a great movie - that it makes you think.
What a remarkable woman. Had me gasping the whole time. I’m not gonna be any less afraid of sharks but I never thought their right to live should have anything to do with whether they can or not kill me or be my friends. All creatures belong on earth. This is a great docu.
Wong Kar-wai has one of the most delicious and delirious filmographies I’ve come across. His characters live such wildly different lives and yet share so many of the same feelings of longing and loneliness that I always connect to so deeply.
His extreme close-ups and warped camera angles, claustrophobic settings and dizzying use of colour and light make for some of the most paradoxically pleasing and uncomfortable watching experiences in cinema (not to mention the fucking incredible soundtracks, every time). His work is absolutely unparalleled.
Fallen Angels joins In the Mood for Love and Days of Being Wild as big favourites of mine. 2046 was the only (slight) miss so far for me, and even then there’s so much to compliment it on.
I really want Steve Penny to rot away in prison.
this show is very very well written
Wonderful, just wonderful. So full of life for a film about death. I loved the dialogues and the motifs throughout. The opening is so strong. And just such magnificent shots, camera movements and framings. I love the changes in subjective perspective. A symphony of film.
At some point both me and Gawain were sat crying wrapped, him around his cape, me around my blanket. I cannot tell you how much this was exactly the movie I needed tonight.
Lilo has to be the cutest Disney character of all time! Lover her so much
Just such incredible documentarian work done here. Not just the immense stock of footage they combed through and collected, but also the storytelling and story-mapping throughout the whole series. Very very well made. May every victim rest in perfect peace.

Visually gorgeous, even if the story was quite unoriginal. Still, it’s got some great moments and i loved how fleshed out each character was for so little screen-time.

Not gonna lie, I slept through most of this but I don’t think I’m ever going to rewatch it and I still feel like I didn’t miss anything so might as well log it. Merry Christmas, I guess!
“And ‘cause I was a gazillionaire and i liked doing it so much, I cut that grass for free.” It was a crime I hadn’t watched this film yet. Maybe one of the most iconic screenplays of all time, possibly the most quotable movie ever. And the rewatchability level is insane.
