It sucks to see one of my favorite directors of all time leave an all-time directorial pairing with his brother to make movies with his bisexual wife that clearly wants to be with women rather than him. Hopefully this doesn't permanently sour you on Ethan Coen. From what I've read, it seems his "wife" walked all over him to make this movie how she wanted. ah didnt know that. i will give him a chance again yes but hoping they will reunite with his brother.

I am still so frustrated with some of my friends with kids had to come here and say that. Month between replies is not accepteble while pretending (insisting on) they are still my friends. and these are not people with newborns but people with kids 10-16.
i gotta learn how to deal with it/ let go.

the bad ones are awful but the good ones allow me to meet and hug the people from my life who have passed and i wouldnt give that up…they are so real. i can feel hug, smell, hear, see, touch them … its amazing. The problem with that is waking up. It's better to be relieved that it was just a dream than to be disappointed. oh not for me. i live and long for those dreams. its quite amazing. i never get to hug my sister anymore otherwise. i may wake up crying yes but i still have the experience so real in my brain that i cherish it as if it actually happened and am grateful for it. plus we talk in my dreams and i love the dialogue its often very thought provoking.

It started out creepy, and I was hopeful. But man, it ended up being a pile of crap. 4.5/10 at best. Also... Yet another modern horror movie where the real monster is mental illness. I'm tired of this trope. re your spoiler: that is true, now that you pointed it out I also dont like that.

15/24 I couldnt resist going for Paul Giamatti even though I KNEW it was going to be Cilia. (oh SAG).
With Lily Gladston I was 50/50 and I am happy it went to Emma Stone for what really was a tranformative and transcending performance.
this was one my worst years predictions, failing to get both Animated and VFX right hasnt happened to me in a long time…. oh well, the winners certainly deserved it.

I am glad to report another 10/10 of this year. Wim Wenders Perfect Days are just that: perfect.
Perfect acting Perfect camera Perfect music Perfect script
What else do you want?
go see it NOW.
Its very Wim Wendersy, beautiful, melancholic, meditative slow burner - in a form of true perfection. Glad to see real filmmaking hasnt died yet.

Recently read an article that Gen Z wants less sex scenes in movies and shows. Unless it enhances the story. I'm not really opposed to that. If I watch something I'm not just doing so for nudity or sex scenes. same. i cant really recall a sex scene that would trully enhance the storytelling.

didnt love it. same as part i. amazingly stylish and innovative but felt empty, cold and soulless 6.5/ 10 simply for the set design and costumes, both amazing. As is Chalamet and Zendaya, with Zendaya maybe even more of a revelation. But something was missing in it for me. that would touch my soul or my heart. Maybe Ill like the third one?

incredible craft and artistic vision. hats off to the creator.
but also: yuck, do not go see unless u r ready for a very intense gore and psychological torture, albeit very well made technically.
7/10 for artistry
ps: also do not see if you tend to suffer from sensory overload.

very watchable, interesting story. i wish they sticked closer to the truth but even without it it was good. a little heavyhanded at times but the power of the original story kept it intense. 7/10 Ps: the US healthcare system is So broken it should be unconstitutional to put people under such duress

This did it. This movie is what turned me off from Coen brother/s. Must be the worst movie I saw this year. Like worse then Madame Web. So cringe and needlessly crass and not in a fun way.I get it lesbians love oral sex and masturbation, who doesnt, but what does it bring to this movie thats so special that it has to be there so many times?? Even if it was a straight couple I would be asking the same question btw. I really like Beanie Feldstien (she is simply great in everything and is always either funny or likeable) but shes not there enough. Pedro Pascal is in it for less than 90 seconds btw what a FRAUD to put him on the poster/in the trailer. Similar case with Matt Damon. But its just completelt unfunny and uninteresting, doesnt work on Any level. No chemistry no functional jokes no nothing. Cool music maybe, so thats what the 3 points are for here: 3/10 Ugh. its like it was written by an untalented 14 year old. On drugs.
For some reason if it was a straight couple, I think MORE people would ask the same question.
you think? either way, i just dont get what it was supppsed to bring to the movie or its story. it felt forced and repetitive. example of sex scenes done well is in All of us Strangers. there it brings something extra, makes sense. enhances the story and the characters journey. here it just made me like everybody less because it felt so forced and juvenile
