For a film about a supercilious orchestra conductor abusing their power, I’ll take Preston Sturges’s Unfaithfully Yours any day over Field’s bloated, vacuous movie.
I had no clue who he was, thought maybe a wrestler or country star. He looks like a cross between John Travolta and Liam Hemsworth.
What? That’s not remotely true. All About Eve, The Turning Point, The Color Purple, Doubt, The Help, just off the top of my head.
Coin Jost?
Krapopolis... it’s krap!
I literally rolled my eyes after reading that title. Östlund has a lot of skills but subtlety is often not one of them.
It’s debatable, but it is really Evelyn’s story, no?
He addresses them by their names every time. Maybe watch the thing you’re attempting to criticize.
His shows post-pandemic in which he spends most of the time just shooting the breeze with his crew are genuinely delightful. If you don’t like him I’m guessing you haven’t seen these episodes.
Wow, what a surprise, shitty anonymously filmed factory drivel had shitty production.
Too bad LCD Soundsystem won’t be there performing “New Body Rhumba.” SNUBBED!

... few have engaged with one of the more mind-boggling moments of Field’s film, in which Lydia Tár returns to her threadbare birth home, tearfully watches a VHS tape of her alleged mentor Leonard Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts in her childhood bedroom, and is revealed by her estranged, working-class-coded…

a paint-by-numbers approach to storytelling, too many characters to service any of them properly, an overreliance on visual effects
particularly a bit on the Leading Actress nominees: “Angela Bassett did the thing, Viola Davis my Woman King, Blanchett Cate you’re a genius, Jamie Lee you are all of us!” DeBose chanted breathlessly.
Marvel Comics has been around since the 60s. Star Wars the 70s. The Lord of the Rings series long before those. Multiple generations of people have marinated in those franchises for their entire lives. It’s just not the same at all.
rarely do I see someone online or hear someone IRL mention it’s one of their favorite series the same way they might talk about Star Wars, the MCU, LOTR etc.
Actor states the obvious about the effects of capitalist factory-produced franchise content. Come back tomorrow for more radical ideas!
