I haven't watched it. I read about it here first and now I can't.

Well, I'm even more removed from the original case than you are. But yeah… Because it's about so much more than the case. It's about what this very case says about race in America, gender, privilege, the media, domestic violence… In the film, a journalist says "We talk about O.J. as though the story is O.J. The story…
Yes, Ezra Edelman deserved the win. I was hooked by his film, watched the whole thing in two sittings and only because I wanted to savor the last two parts. I also can't wait to see I Am Not Your Negro.
OJ : Made in America was truly great. As Werner Herzog said : "It's the shortest eight hours I've spent."
The icing on the cake. Is there more? Cos I could use another good laugh.
I only read about it. And I can't bring myself to watch the moment. I'm kind of scared…
Hi @a_quiet_storm:disqus. It's a pleasure to read you ! The prep discussion is fine, I think, as long as it leaves room and allows the more bare, quiet performances to be rewarded too. Which is not always the case.
Yeah, Huppert won her Cesar, it was about time. I didn't see Jackie yet. I know I should but I have to…
What made it so good, for me, was the camera panning out at the end, to show the two girls dancing in the doorframe. The image composition was great and so was the timing of the cut to black.
Yes. I like that the show often makes you hear the music, particularly pop songs, with a different and new state of mind. For example, in The Panic in Central Park (boy, I feel like I'm only talking about this episode here), the Casey Veggies song is put to use in a very moving way, when Marnie and Charlie are dancing…
You know, my point of view from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, is that the prep discussion is more of an American thing. I think part of the reason why Marion Cotillard won the oscar for La Môme is because she was so drastically transformed for the role of Piaf and the academy raves about this kind of…
Well, one could argue that One Man's trash was, in almost its entirety, a dream. Some people wondered back when it aired, if those were real events in Hannah's life. I think it was real, but we have to acknowledge the fact that her week end with Wilson's character was never mentioned or talked about after that in the…
Yes, it was. I don't know why I wrote that.
Watching it, I didn't think it was his intention from the beginning. I started to get more uncomfortable when he asked her about her life, on the living room. That's when I started going "Uh Oh". But it works both ways, which is, I think, a testament to how good the writing and directing are here. And Rhys' brilliant…
I never hate-watched Girls. As much as I hate the characters sometimes, I'm always eager to come back to it because when it's good, it's very good. Season 5 was one of the best seasons of Girls and The Panic in Central Park was just the icing on the cake for me. I still think about this episode sometimes. Yeah, so, so…
It was a very good half hour of television. Girls' bottle episodes are some of my favorites (my number one being The Panic in Central Park). Rhys was the perfect choice for Chuck and Dunham's script was smart. But, like Alan Sepinwall, I don't know that I buy it as an episode of Girls. It's a little too removed from…
You know there are other very good french actresses besides Marion Cotillard. I, for one, think that the performance for which she won an Oscar is very overrated. I'm not saying she was bad in La Môme but I think the make up artists for the film deserved half the credit.
You forgot Jean Dujardin for the Oscar win. I know that The Artist is a silent film, that it was shot in Hollywood and has a bunch of american actors in it, but it's a very french film. Yes, there is the question of the language, or lack thereof, but given Dujardin's english skills at the time, I'd say he was thinking…
Well, I don't expect them to show this very scene once again. I'm just telling it like I saw it :-)
Hmm, no. It was part of a series of real moments in the Pearson family life and not told at all from Randall's point of view. It was one of the many illustrations of Kevin's speech about life and death and how we keep the people with us even after they're gone. When we see the scene of Randall packing William's…
When William went to kiss the girls goodbye in the morning, and especially when he gently smelt Annie's hair, it reminded me of his scene with Olivia during the Thanksgiving episode: "(…) And soon where there used to be my granddaughter breathing and my son laughing, there will be nothing." He caught all "these…
