Wait, I don't think most are very sympathetic to Hannah being Hannah. It's just that the realization that your friend is dating your ex is so universal, and the writing on that issue and Dunham's performance in that particular scene are so on point that it invites empathy and is intensely moving despite how one…

Since The AV Club doesn't allow first-person writing in reviews, this might be Mike's round-bout way of saying it's his favorite film ever, per his letterboxd entry (although he also believed the title as stated as well, even if the review titles are not written by the writers if I remembered correctly).
Ah, I see. I remember you a bit angry at one of his classic film reviews so I thought that would be another case here.
Mike has been getting (unwarranted) grief for rarely giving A and averaging out to B & C for most of his reviews (like he himself said for the latter). But I never hear anyone eyerolling like "oh it's him again" about the films he truly dislikes (the Ds and the Fs), because the sentiments are shared widely. He's not…
And "Martha" is the biggest one of all. (Seriously, quite more than a few laughed out loud at that. Me, I just sat in disbelief).
It's definitely part of the plot, in such that if you think about that aspect while watching you can get ahead of the plot.
(Seriously though, although it is nowhere near the top of his favorite
films, I don't think anyone who has watched Dazed and Confused can
dislike its director.)
Everybody's dishonest but you, eh? Never change, beema.
No, last time (and so far here) you only doled out "whatev guys why outrage" stuff, and didn't deal with the very well-reasoned posts that deal with the complexity of this *particular* film at all. It will be very unlikely to set precedent, for reasons D-Nice articulated so well above. Her specific look in relation…
Oh, it's you again. Care to engage with the very detailed and reasonable posts people provide about the issue (like D-Nice's post above) this time? Or your strong opinion about this just applies to easy targets?
I will never understand why of all the Japanese children cartoons to cross over into the West, Doraemon never make an impact there. HUGE cultural impact in many Asian countries. And here in Thailand, Doraemon will be a childhood staple for generations to come; forever embedded in our culture.
That's actually almost exactly the moral at the heart of Monsters University.
Glad you guys get a chance to see this. Will never screen here in Thailand, which I guess is a breaking point for him (after a long, long struggle of getting many of his films shown or compromised), as he said this is the last film he will make here.
The original guy upvoted that comment while ignoring almost all others that would require he engages more deeply with what he brought up in the first place. So yeah, certainly not here to have a reasonable discussion.
It really worked better in the book, because the book committed to it, and words can actually limit our perspective into this story only through Jack's understanding. Film is a visual medium so it inevitably has to show more than what Jack knows, and the director seemed weirdly hesitated between two characters as…
I watched Joe and kept thinking throughout how he really looked and felt like a younger Tom Hardy.
Seriously, does well-articulated arguments (despite how hard you disagree with it, as I was with this one) not count for anything anymore? It's like half of the people here already made up their minds on what kind of angry comments they are going to write based on the (admittedly baiting) article title.
It's already called "trash heap" in the comments. Not sure whether I should trust that insightful snippet, or the trash-heap review above!
Never really got the "rich, white people having problems" criticism (maybe because I'm an Asian from across the world?). Is this a blanket statement on all this trope or can anyone fuming here find a film fitting the above description that they like?
