This was very sweet and…
BEN MCKENZIE??????? 10/10 for that
Wasn’t sure what to think about it at first - still lots of loose ends and characters and bits that make you wonder why they were implemented in the first place. Not really sure what the gore was for, felt like it led nowhere in the end and in my opinion absolutely unnecessary for telling the story that was being told. Seeing all the layers and characters unfold and intertwine was unusual for a German production, Karoline Herfurth amazing as always and insanely good psychopathing by Alexander Fehling. Loved the Berlin vibe and the club scenes though. I really enjoyed the slow pace but the end felt a bit too rushed, 10 episodes might’ve been the sweet spot here. Still way better than expected, glad I finally watched it. Just a shame they weren’t able to tie everything together in the end.
Took me a bit to get used to the way the BW was graded, felt somehow off at first, it didn’t feel as familiar as old BW films for some reason, which took me a few episodes to get over.
I have not seen any other Ripley portrayal and purely watched it for Andrew Scott, who, no surprise, did an incredible job. Loved the vibe, the pace, the atmosphere. Some bits of the story felt a bit too far fetched, glad they at least decided to reveal at the very end what I had a hard time believing throughout the entire second half no one found out earlier. But then, maybe he really was just that stupidly lucky despite his carelessness. Kinda fits in with the wonderful dark humour bits in between.
Stephen you absolute legend
..and did I just watch a frog gangbang there?
This may sound weird but I loved the rainy end credits. Like, loved.

Possibly the worlds most tender and beautiful ending to one of the most wholesome tv shows ever made.
Currently rewatching this and: did not expect Isaac to be such a decent singer
To my surprise, I enjoyed that very much.
Strong eyebrow game by Brett, strong acting by the the cast. Loved the jokes in this episode. Beautiful ending scene.
Honestly just decided to watch this film because of Riz Ahmed, who I’d even watch in a 119 minute commercial and still be content. Sadly even he wasn’t at his best, just like Luke Wilson, who I was really happy to unexpectedly see. Interesting idea that, combined with the entire mood and style, almost felt a little bit like a Lanthimus-Anderson crossover. Almost. It lacked a little bit (too much) of everything, weak story that wasn’t really able to carry the idea across just right, weak chemistry, weak setting. Would’ve loved a bit more detail and depth which is why in the end, despite the really slow pace, all felt a bit rushed and unnatural. I missed feeling like being in the story with them rather than just watching two actors act a screenplay they’ve been practicing.
„… but maybe not on facebook because that’s just for grandparents and racists now, isn’t it“
Whoaaa this was mad and SO genius! I‘m still tense and will probably need all the time until Season 2 is finally on to recover
cool visuals but apart from that.. fair?!
Feels like an attempt to remake crime scene cleaner which wasn’t really possible in the UK and will never be possible again in Germany, not without Bjarne Mädel. Okay for a light watch but not more unfortunately. Nice to see Moritz Bleibtreu again though.
…state of Danis arms, oi!
Had no idea what it was about or what was going to happen — devoured every minute of it with the same curiosity and joy Bella passed on throughout the film. Incredible world that Lanthimos created there and possibly Emma Stones best role so far. Loved the dynamic with Marc Ruffalo, he was crazy good as always.
For me though, the magic slowly faded sometime during the Paris chapter, the Alfie bit felt like it came out of nowhere and a bit too rushed regarding the overall pleasantly slow pace in the first half of the film - then again: I wanted to see him as a goat so bad, perfect last scene!
The way they created an entire world in this film that made you feel like all irrationality and weirdness is entirely rational and just makes perfect sense in this beautifully weird but wonderful cosmos was magical.
I love how at no point the writers tried to turn Rebecca and Teds friendship into anything romantic or sexual, it’s so beautiful to see how close they got on an entirely platonic level.

…because I like you more than I hate him
Just peacefully rewatching the series when Sassy walks in and I remember she exists and spoils every episode she’s in :(
Ummm what are these glasses!?
What’s with the annoyingly obvious Amazon Prime boxes all over the place for the past few episodes?
Took me an hour to figure out that Hugh Grant is talking like Rick Gervais, might take forever to figure out why though
Fuck me no way I’d ever be in a relationship with a person who calls these people her friends, disgusting af. Poor Gordon.
The fuck did I just watch? I get the idea they tried to sell here but… why? Tried way too hard there. Swan Song made almost the exact idea way more enjoyable to watch by keeping it down to what really matters. Nice to see Paul Mescal again though.
Incredibly well played by Tye, what a joy to watch his character. Love Ana de Armas although I’m not sure what to think of the story itself, this had so much potential.
Mad cast, what a perfect match. Loved the style. Hail Burger King :hamburger:
I rarely end a film early, but 20 minutes of this was enough, 1312
