Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.

 

I just didn't get it. IMO it was kind of bizarre. But to each their own. :heart:

 

Also, The Shape Of Water for obvious reasons... :doc:

I also could not stand this movie. I don't understand why it was well-received.

I know everyone loves it but I couldn't get into Everything Everywhere All At Once at all, I do understand how people like it but the maximalism was not for me.

Beautiful cinematography, stylish direction, incredible performances, and goosebump inducing score disguised a fairly workman like screenplay. All of the pieces fell together for that element to be looked over mostly. Genuinely had the cast not been as good as they were, that would've been more noticeable. They just had a cast that can act well regardless of screenplay and a director who had a very specific visual language for the story to unfold with.

Basically the indie hit of any given year is always terrible (CMBYN, EEAAO, etc.)

The cinematography was beautiful (the countryside of Italy never looked so picturesque). But, the story was very undercooked and underdeveloped. My biggest issue is I had no idea how the characters felt about each other until the end of the movie. The lack of dialogue between the characters, their cattiness, and no internal monologue (which was apparently a prominent feature in the book) led to a very disorienting experience for me. I remember the scene where Elio and Oliver first do it and the next scene is Oliver asking if Elio is mad at him and Elio rolls his eyes and says no and then walks away. There is implied conflict there and mixed emotions from both sides. It's never expanded upon. Things like this kept happening to the point where I had no idea what was happening. Implicit storytelling is fine, but there's a fine line between being implicit and effectively communicating nothing to the audience.

 

In terms of atmosphere though, it's a fantastic movie. I'll give it that.

Lady Bird is terrible and boring.

 

I also heavily disliked Spider Man: No way Home. It literally has no plot, it’s just a fanservicefest.

Citizen Kane (so f*cking boring :sleep:)

Office Space (but maybe I should watch it again? I was like 16 when I last watched it, that's a decade ago omg... but I've watched it SEVERAL times in my life)

Inside Out :ace: horrible movie, 3/10 at best lol idk what f*cking Pixar were thinking with that bland ass movie (and yes, this is coming from a neurodivergent person who has dealt with depression his whole life hihi!)

Us (I loooved Get Out and I LOOOOOOVED Nope! but Us didn't do it for me at all)

Agree with Us. The film is riddled with plot holes and just left no impression. The trailer is literally better than the film. I will admit that it is a clever concept but the execution is awful
