Probably his best film since the Return I reckon
Was also expecting a kind of esoteric and slow burning couple of hours but it was actually really compelling
I think the worst thing about the parents was the complacency, made it seem much worse
Brilliantly trolled by Netflix only having the first one on there.
Itās for the best tbf.
Reviews tell me the 3rd one is the best of the bunch, was willing to suffer the 6 hours of the first two for this but it turns out Iāve currently suffered 3 hours for nothing
Those reviews are wrong. The 3rd one is awful! Second is OK for the Smaug bits.
looks kinda good although Iām not a massive fan of Kurosawa or Ozu
hopefully thereāll be a few more obscuritiesā¦
This was the first of his Iāve seen. Isnāt Leviathan supposed to be pretty good too?
I mean all of his films are pretty good but Iād go for The Return next, and then Leviathan personally
Iād say the Return is purely more āenjoyableā, all of them are quite bleak though
The Return is a masterpiece.
Michelle Williamsā performance in Blue Valentine is incredible. Donāt think the film realises how completely unsympathetic Goslingās character is in the flashback bits though
Southland Tales managed to be even worse than the reports Iāve been hearing about it for 10+ years.
Not gonna get the 6 part comic books that act as prequels?
Watched Clash (2016). On All4, never heard of it before. Thought it was properly good. The whole film takes place in the back of a police wagon during Egyptian protests between military and Muslim Brotherhood supporters. The director does such a good job at raising the claustrophobia and tension, as well as actually managing to film it all. Definitely worth a watch.
Also watched the Butterfly Effect as Iād never seen it before. Expected to hate it, thought it was surprisingly alright.Ashton Kutcher is decent which i mever thought would happen
Thought The Invisible Life of EurĆdice GusmĆ£o was very good
Mary and the Witchās Flower was super charming and Kate Winslet was quite menacing as Madam Mumblechook but all in all, it just felt a bit Kiki / Spirited / Howlās lite.
woah, why not?
agree with that - thereās a fair few Ozus and Kurosawas on there anyway, as far as I remember
Definitely preferred Mary to Howl personally
