A really fun movie. I loved the aesthetic. I wish they'd make a sequel!
Honestly it's not particularly a good movie. I was a teenager when it was released and I thought it was not very relatable. But looking back, it does show a little bit of the aesthetics of those times
YES. YES. YES. YES. YES.
This is the kind of movie so bad, it becomes good
I really appreciated this movie. I was surprised that it respected the manga that much! Casting Masaki Suda was a really good decision from the management as he interpret Kuranosuke/Kurako really well!
Though I already read the manga before, I think you can easily watch it independently of the manga.
I just finished watching this stand-up and it's difficult to gather my words right now. I knew her from Please like me so I clicked on her Netflix video, expecting something funny, maybe some sarcasm, some jokes about her being lesbian... I didn't expect all the truths and beautiful, angry and powerful speech that she gave.
Please watch it, it's worth your time
Such a perfect romance movie! It's so nice to see how fun d/s is for the two main characters. They managed to make it sexy but also pretty entertaining.
I'm very surprised because I genuinely didn't think it would be that fun to watch
I actually quite enjoyed it. The main interest of that movie is of course the bling-bling side of Versailles. I don't agree with everything in that movie and the characters were all rather superficially describe except the royal couple, in my opinion but I liked the performance and the atmosphere.
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. As a French wlw, I don't know a lot of lgbt movies that were made for and by French people so I was happy to discover this one! I grew up with very few movies to represent me and all of them were from foreign countries...
The acting was very natural and I loved seeing a depiction of the feminist movement of the 70's (though it's really focused on white feminism but seeing that it's about two white women, it's not super surprising for the times).
I would have loved to see even more of the feminist fights and the end was, like too many lgbtq movie, ambiguous. It's obviously a happy ending but why must lgbt couple always be separated? I wish we had at least a mention of them meeting or smth like that
All in all, a very nice viewing that I definitely recommend!
I saw someone saying that after saying Paul Bettany in this movie, it was impossible to not want Vision to live in Infinity war and now that i've seen this movie, i get it. He's simply awesome.
I can't believe I've never heard about this movie before seeing it on Netflix!! It deals very well of the sensitive subject that is orgasm/expectations about one's sexual life, while showing different women's relationship with sex. While doing all of that, it also depict an established lesbian relationship, which is so refreshing! Movies about homophobia are great, but it also so nice to have a subject about other aspects of a lesbian relationship.
All the different relationships between the characters felt very natural, and I loved how each character was humanized.
I only watched this because Hayley Kiyoko is in this movie and I must say, this was really, REALLY american. Really Disney-ish and so really predictable but I guess a little bit fun? I'm aware I'm not the public targeted anyways so... ^-^
But it was funny how everything in the movie and the promotions pictures tried to push Olivia as the center while Stella should actually be the main character (but she's not white and this is Hollywood I guess?).
Wonderful landscapes and acting. Meryl Streep is amazing and touching.
The colonial atmosphere was embarrassing at times but it's better than the book.
I could feel that they were good ideas behind this movie but the realisation of them is... very poor.
I remember loving the book as a child, so I find myself quite disappointed by the movie. Lily James is not a particularly good fit for the role, and she has no chemistry with Michiel Huisman.
Also the nazi guy was good because he helped a cow give birth?... Nevermind about all the jewish people who might have been killed by him then, I guess.
The kid is so freaky, why is everyone in this movie acting like she doesn't look like a child version of a barbie? Seriously that's disturbing. Just as disturbing as the books btw, what with Jacob's gross 'impregnation' (hello, this child will never be able to grow up alone and choose a partner!! this isn't cute!) and them believing living forever in a gift (?????). Bella is just as mediocre as before except she can now hide her lack of personality behind her spectacular gifts and Edward still has the personality of an oyster, and seems unable to act as a parent. Also nice pedophilia joke about Jacob being Edward's 'son-in-law'. So funny! We're not AT ALL talking about a child there!
I don't know how i feel about this movie... Tbh Alex was a total jerk at some moments.
I wished the story would have been about him discovering his bisexuality instead. Some parts seems to hint at that but then no? I think there's some inconsistance in the story-line about that
I totally wonder if this was written by someone straight because that whole thing about "why don't just come out? my cousin of 16 has come out" and other lines from that type are just... so straight. They really seems to think lgbt people not coming out is a matter of will...
But generally it's a cute movie as long as you can handle the awkwardness of the main character
Also the guy playing Elliot plays in The Gay and Wondrous life of Caleb Gallo, a queer serie on youtube that i totally recommend!
We don't see enough movies like this! As a French person, I really recommend watching this movie if you want to discover more about France than just the mainstream image :)
Editing this (22/07/18) to say that years after writing this, I grew up and learned and realizes now that some parts are really cliché and might show a negative image of people living in the suburbs. The sad thing is that it shows the main heroine struggling without really acknowledging the main problem which is the french society itself (build by and for white people). The writer and director is a white woman so it's not overly surprising.
If you're interested in a movie focused on black women, i heard that "Ouvrir la voix" by Amandine Gay, was much better :)
It's definitely not the best superhero movie but it definitely deserve better than the ratings it got.
Interesting, but I think it would have been better to be more detailed about some people or events. It felt like the narrator expected me to already know everything, and recognize the small hints that were given from time to time.
I also felt like women were continuously brought back to their roles as mothers. A bit ironic, considering that this documentary is supposed to focused on all women. What about the ones who didn't fit in this ideal to begin with ?
I can't say I disliked watching this movie but I'm definitely very puzzled about what I'm supposed to take from this. I thought it was supposed to be a romantic comedy, which I guess is true except that the two main characters are absolutely awful to each other and to other people around them. At the very least, it's interesting to watch Cotillard & Canet in their early stage as actors...
I think one of the main reasons I didn't particularly enjoy this movie was that, in my country, it was branded as the "new Moonlight". And it definitely isn't. I was floored by how different those two movies were (and I blame homophobia a little for making people thinks those two movies are completely alike).
However, it is a very interesting movie, though probably not made for me. I graded it a 6 because I didn't truly enjoy it but in no way does it mean that it's a bad movie. Another person made a very good comment so I won't elaborate more.
A really nice movie, much better than the 2007 version! I felt that it was a really good depiction of women's situations at that time. I just hoped against everything that Sir Bertram would drop dead, especially after the (unsurprising) discovery of his actions towards slaves. It did feel a bit strange to show how awful this character is and not have him face his actions but I guess it would have been too different that the original version.
It's really not my type of movie but it was funny and managed to avoid the usual clichés that this type of story usually rely on. It felt pretty realistic
It's a good movie overall because the acting and the cinematography are great but I felt that the scenario had some weaknesses. There's a lot of characters that we barely see, certain things felt a bit rushed and it left me with many questions that I feel should have been answered.
I still definitely recommend watching it, though !
Some parts were very funny, but I simply didn't vibe, nor agree with the need for some of the jokes
Very fun, heartfelt and engaging but it missed out something to make it truly exceptionnal for me. I highly recommend it, however
I just couldn't get into it and I had to speed run through it lol
Pretty cliché and not very original but watchable
Good acting and interesting plot but I find the ending to be a bit unbelievable and I really, really don't understand why they broke the rhythm of the movie to push some useless romance with a female character that has no personality and is obviously only here to fit the old and overused "the hero get the girl" cliché.
