How fun and delightfully gross! This should probably be the new template for VG adaptations. Just letting the director knows the source material cook and create something unique.

The overtly comedic tone sometimes took me out of it, but it was entertaining nonetheless!

Never work overtime.

I really really really really really wanted to like this more than I did. I've never given Talking Heads their proper shot, outside of a few of their major hits, until now. I went into this knowing it's considered the greatest concert film of all time, and I left quite underwhelmed. Am I an asshole? lmao

I will say that Demme shot/made this very nice. Most of the presentation, set design, and logistics of the concert itself are pretty outstanding. David Byrne is unarguably a great performer and has fantastic stage presence and commitment. But the music didn't connect with me really at all and the musicianship even felt a bit lackluster for me, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly why.

Just didn't vibe with it. Please dont kill me 🫣 If someone wanted to put this on, I'm not gonna complain; just know that I won't be having as much fun as you. Perhaps I've stopped making sense myself so I there ya go lol ok bye!

So deep. Perhaps too deep for its own good; the "dreams" in this film are quite esoteric and difficult to interpret unless you're hip to philosophical concepts. But like Lynch before him, Bi Gan can make his films FELT to the same effect.

If there's one last film for humanity, might be this one. What a statement.

Also, still the best one-take sequence I've ever seen.

Nobody does it like Sean Baker. Telling simple real-life stories through meta-neo-realism almost guerilla style. And endless sea of a canvas to work with. Bravo.

Karren let's be friends.

A little more surface-level and shallow than I would've liked, but still and absolute ROMP. Penelope Cruz dropped this 👑

This didn't quite work for me, although I absolutely LOVED some of the editing choices and the ensemble brought their A-game.

Probably the most uncomfortable I've ever been watching a film, and maybe that speaks to the film's effectiveness, but the issues and moral complications regarding the "twist" seemed very surface-level to me, and the cringe factor seemed deliberately forced and manipulative? Idk man I appreciate the big swings, but I just didn't align with this one.

Alana Haim. MVP 👑

Drove home in stunned silence after seeing this. Woah. This kinda rocked me in a way I didn't expect. Very effective!

Could be interpreted in a multitude of ways. I think the discussions this film is inciting is very exciting and interesting.

Really dug this! I have reservations with the inconsistent tone and the ambiguity of the therapist's backstory, but otherwise very effective, well crafted and true to the source material, whatever that is lmao

Renate you dropped this 👑

Kane, you will go FAR my friend.

Call your Mom. Call your Dad. Go visit them. Take them places. Ask them questions. Reminisce. Hug them. As much as you can.

However this was shot and color graded, that's how real life should look and feel.
