haven’t watched it yet, but I’m really hoping this means there’s something else on the way

there were meetings with Netflix, which I don’t think were specifically to do with producing this, since if I’m right this had already been screened a couple of times before Netflix got their hands on it. My fingers are very much crossed they’re going to fund that Antelope film mentioned in the Room to Dream book

Ok so one or two of you might be aware how much I fucking loved Uncut Gems, it was the first film by the Safdie brothers I had seen.

Anyway I just watched Good Time, wow, that’s fucking excellent as well.
These two are fucking exciting film makers :+1:

Daddy Long Legs is really good too, inexplicably featuring Lee Ranaldo’s family prominently

waves is really earnest and slick, definitely an American movie. soundtrack/ music references were a bit too much, music video vibes. thought it was alright

Waves - Very good IMO. Can’t believe it manages to pull off the trick that it does. It is absolutely gorgeous to look at but also completely anxiety inducing at times and then very quiet and pensive in the next moment. It’s walking a tightrope the whole time and I can understand people thinking it falls off but it worked for me. A few too many needle drops perhaps but the performances and cinematography make it work.

As much as it made me feel a bit sick, the spinny camera sequence at the start was a hell of a way to kick off.

It made a statement that’s for sure (I was kind of thinking ā€œoh shit, this is gonna be badā€ during that bit though, was glad when it ended and fucking Animal Collective stopped playing)

Yeah but there were at least three more Animal Collective songs in the rest of the film!

(I liked that though)
