How so? Surely it’s in that top category of films that could be film of the decade, and after that point it’s just personal preference.

Never known an actor to spoil so many films. Seriously. Genuinely find it puzzling she gets so many big gigs.

#374

I mean she’s pretty amazing in a solid handful of films so dunno what to tell you.

Like if you said she was in the top 5/10 actors working today I’d go “yeah seems about right”

Baffling. One of the top five living actors. Fucking hell.

I think Bait is very good, and, it isn’t particularly bad in any way but I think people have gotten carried away with bigging up the style of it. Yeah it’s a great style but it’s also a little pretentious.

The plot/characters aren’t all that deep (gentrification is bad, rich people are selfish, etc). It’s really blunt in its politics up until the ending, which seemed ambiguous for ambiguousness’ sake… I like ambiguity but it didn’t feel cohesive to me - the final moments felt tacked on.

I agree with all the points its making and it’s a cool film that I’d recommend to everyone, but it’s not as daring, original, or ambitious as some people say it is :woman_shrugging: Well excited for what the director does next though.

If I was gunna go for an arty slice-of-life British class drama from the decade The Arbor would be no1.

I mean surely that doesn’t apply if you like it - if everything about it works for you then you wouldn’t think that.

I also don’t even have it in my top 5 of the year, so I did mostly feel like you did.

She’s clearly good but i’ve only seen her in total trash films

Truly bizarre. Could name thirty better actresses off the top of my head.

She absolutely ruins films for me.

Fair point :slightly_smiling_face: I sort of agree but don’t have an articulate reply ATM sorry

I mean Cats is the film of the decade so I don’t know why we’re even having this conversation

Amy Adams is amazing and glad the poll above shows nearly everyone here is sane

Declaring Michelle Williams, Charlotte Rampling, Shirley Henderson, Siaorse Ronan and Samantha Morton my Big Five. Absolutely refuse to accept Amy Adams is in that league.
