You and me both.
You and me both.
More or less completely agree, save for me liking Roth's performance.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
I'll probably run the risk of pissing off some commenters here, but while I thought Goggins did an excellent job, it did feel like he was doing some familiar riffs in his performance. Not that it is inherently bad, and I enjoyed myself (hadn't thought about the hick accent; something to consider during a rewatch),…
I believe it still is and it's fantastic, through and through.
Put Weekend on your list ahead of Looking. It's an extraordinary film; my person choice for the best film I've seen about two gay men in love (for lack of a better word).
I think you're a delight too.
The Evil Dead comparisons are spot on. They are impossible to ignore once you see them, but subtle enough that they only really appear if think about it.
I'm curious about that one. I heard pretty mixed things about it, but the concept sounds intriguing.
I have, and while I thoroughly enjoy watching it and can rewatch it again and again, it didn't quite have the emotional pull of some of his other work, at least for me.
Ooooooo, color me intrigued.
Very good to know! Thank you!
I wonder if some laughed simply because they felt uncomfortable. Tarantino is no stranger to playing with taboos and seeing women get hit does, in most people at least, induce a kind of instant wince. I think he was toying with those feelings, particularly by making Daisy and ruthless, violent, crude racist.
Is 45 Years the first film you've seen by Haigh or have you watched Weekend?
One of my favorite filmgoing experiences was seeing it at a film festival and getting to meet Duncan Jones. He's a complete sweetheart.
Glad you liked it. I thought it was far too long, turgid, and populated with wholly uninteresting, paper thin characters.
It's so great! A really terrific character study.
I didn't, no. At the least the part of the audience I was sitting with, every time she got hit, every one would gasp (save for the bowl of stew moment).
The ending to Two Days, One Night is so great precisely because it finds that note of hope while never feeling tacked on. It's beautiful writing.
Moon was one of my favorite films of the past decade and Sam Rockwell should have won Best Actor, and Duncan Jones should have at least been nominated for Best Director and Original Screenplay. It's an extraordinary film.
