When my man was screaming at every deity in the book for rain, I felt that.

If there's one film that needs to be:
- Shown on a loop in a museum
- Sent into outer space to the extraterrestrials
- Shown to people who want to experience film beyond the boundaries of narrative
- Felt
- Sat with before knowing what the motherfuck to say about it

Let it be this one.

Till the end of time.

That shot of CW's dad looking into the car goes ABSOLUTELY and ABSURDLY hard.

Coogler cooked with this. I highly commend the man pulling through with a fully original IP action blockbuster. Don't wanna give anything away but started as something pretty neat and turned into something of an absolute ROMP. Don't think it neeeeeeded to be on IMAX but there were some really beautiful shots and sequences either way. "That" scene also have me chills for sure.

Delroy fucking Lindo.

Hamaguchi can portray such deeply rich, complex and human stories and experiences through such subtle filmmaking. Once again his film, a collection of the 3 separate stories (each one better than the last), got me thinking in ways I either never have, or haven't thought enough of.

And to think the cab driver, the passing students in the hallways, and the deliveryman were just mere outsiders unknowingly intertwined with these stories. We're all human 💙

One for you

One for me

It's quite clear that is a landmark in American cinema and no other film puts me in the late 60s as convincingly as this.

Also, this is Punch Drunk Love before Punch Drunk Love am I crazy?

The sharp gasp I let out when Nick lit Martha's cigarette.

The sharp cackle I let out when Geroge said "dominus vobiscum" during Martha's recitation.

Oh man I ate this one up

Again, truly transcendent filmmaking. Don't f*uck with Ramell Ross.

Quick reminder that PTA is such a unique directorial voice that we should NEVER take for granted. How the hell does he come up with this?

Still Sandler's best performance.

Lily, what you MADE of

4 / 5 🐀

Wish I liked this a bit more. More or less a verbal jerk-off sesh of desparate salesmen who stop at nothing to close. The ambiguous missing leads mystery keeps it interesting and Jack Lemmon absolutely destroys, but... this was kind of a lot for nothing??

Shout-out to Wayne Shorter though

3.1 / 5

I get it now. This is heavy. An understated, no-frills and quite moving true story about the perserverance of motherhood and effects of deep political corruption under dictatorship in Brazil. More people need to know about this 🇧🇷

All aboard the Fernanda legacy train 🚆

"That's got nothing to do with taste." Should be the glamping dude's epitaph tbh

This movie is just too good man.

"Life is to be understood backwards, but we must continue to live it forwards"

Heavy. This film's humor elevates it and in turn avoids melodrama given the characters' constant unfortunate circumstances. Truly a cathartic peice of work.

God bless those with the curse that life seems to bestow upon them. It's all gonna be ok 🐌

Also, the apple is the origin of Sin, so joke's on you, RUTH.

I don't think there's been a film that has challenged me more than this one. Even on a rewatch, it is difficult to unpack it's deep layers of symbolism through its equally deeply subtle narrative approach and storytelling, but once it ends (and wow what an ending), it forces you to reflect on what it all means. The characters intentions, what they represent societaly, what they think is the "truth" or lack thereof. Its spellbounding, yet frustrating.

A lot of people declare this a masterpiece. I'm not there yet, but I'm getting closer to understanding it. Maybe I never will; some things just don't click, and that's ok.

That Miles needle drop though, holllly shit.

4.2 / 5

Brave. Brave filmmaking. Bravery in the performances. And bravery in what it's exposing. Watch this to get an education.

Grats on your Oscar noms boys.
