Spoilers: I really liked the ending reveal with the Andromedans, both the concept and the look of it. But I've been having a hard time with the ending of this film because it feels like it validates conspiracy theorists to go through with some pretty awful behavior.
Absolutely crushed by this film. Jessie Buckley is amazing in everything but this might be my favorite performance by her. The scene where they are practicing the play is so powerful and you can hear the pain behind Paul Mescal's "Again". Go thy ways to a nunnery. Again.
For such a massive ensemble cast, every single performance was very memorable. I was initially thrown off by the needle drops more so because they felt out of time but they actually really work. I bounced around with the rating for this mostly because I was left a little conflicted by the ending. I think its purposely ambiguous to make us think about whether Marty has actually grown as a person. Specially if I may not necessarily feel like he deserves to win (both in the game and life) based on everything we saw the prior two hours. Probably my favorite vampire film of the year, so far.
O: "this movie is scary" Haven't seen this in a while but randomly started singing a bunch of the songs to my kids the other day so we decided to watch it today. I will never understand why "Something So Right" did not get nominated for any awards. Good night Danny Trejo
A story of life and the people we meet and lose along the way. Devastating at times but it left me with a hopeful message. Beautiful, ainβt it? All of it. Every bit of it.
While I wanted this to be a closer adaptation to the book, the things that it changed really worked for me. However, one scene in particular with some wolves felt off to me in contrast to the rest of the way the creature is portrayed. Just generally I had a harder time with the scale of the violence. A+ ending though.
I keep jumping back and forth on my rating and thoughts. I'm fascinated that they were able to do as much as they did with the estimated budget of $15,000 USD. Even though I wasn't always a fan of the main subjects of the documentary, I appreciate their commitment. I still recommend watching this if you are not interested in birdwatching. Watch it on YouTube
