First film of 2023!

This film is a precise mashup of Gran Torino and Up. Even had the trip to the falls. Turns out that’s no bad thing, I cried my eyes out and I’ll be buying the book. Thoroughly recommend giving it a watch.

Bad

Not as good as the first but enjoyable!

Spent 100 minutes waiting for something explosive when in fact the entire film just slowly burned. Left thinking for hours. Loved it

What a performance from Anthony Hopkins, genuinely terrifying. Probably a bit criminal that it took me this long to see this film

What a rollercoaster. Some great soundtracking and the shots are superb. A wild, wandering journey around the mind of an unwell guy

So good. Bleak and funny. Great acting. The “takes two to tango” back and forth had me laughing my head off

Not great, not bad. Cast is insane but the story is maybe a bit too convoluted for me. I do like when movies do a side-by-side with the real events in the credits though

I think this is a great concept that’s been badly delivered

✊🏻 yesssss

Colin Farrell really hates Bruges

Quentin goes easy on the violence but keeps the feet in this one. Great double cross thing going on

It’s a whodunnit. You see one, you’ve seen ‘em all. This one’s particularly good though

Saw this in IMAX for a special. It’s just iconic. Animatronics are better than CGI. That classic soundtrack. About ten shots of those oxygen tanks so we don’t forget they’re on the boat.. I love every moment of this film.

I don’t think Sean Bean says “bastard” in this film, which would’ve definitely bought it another star. All round an enjoyable film, even if you could see what was coming next for near enough the whole thing.

Spent the whole film thinking it looked familiar. Then “GREAT ASS” and it came flooding back. What a film!

I watched this movie in its native languages, with French subtitles. Difficult to understand that, but the film could still be understood. A great story that’s heart wrenching at times. Worth a watch for sure

This movie had great pace. Perhaps just highlighted because I’d watched Moulin Rouge the night before. 

Hell of a cast, all at their best. Loved the escalation throughout.

Take your eyes off this for 30 seconds and you’ll miss about 25 important plot points. It really shifts!

I want to take his face 🤏 … 🫴 off

Unexpectedly one of the funniest films of the year. Haven’t heard a whole cinema laugh like that in a long time. Side note: everything A24 touches right now turns to gold

If you lose a limb suddenly blood sprays out like a fire hydrant for at least 10 seconds

Think we could have another contender for film of the year on this one. I guess when we see something spectacular we all react differently, and pretty much every character did that in this film. 

Am also waiting for my first monkey related nightmare
