Here’s the thing…it’s my brother’s favorite movie. He identifies as Will 🍎. And if I die before him I’d like him to read this and know I know it is not his fault…

*note to my 11 Letterboxd friends. This is an inside joke and I have feelings about this movie I’ll keep to myself for now to protect my brother 🔧  but it’s a great movie.

I’m not sure what people expected from a live action retelling of a classic, but this was just fine. Odd choices for sure but my daughter had a blast so I did too. (Yes, cgi instead of hiring real actors to play the seven dwarfs is disgusting…As is the blatant use of background actors being used as principal roles and most likely not being paid for them. Also, obviously, I see the issues with the evil queen people in the theater actually laughed when she said nooooo. )

Sorry.

Cute. Great performances. Issa Rae went from this to Barbie.

My kids would do that too if I took their phones away that long.
Incredible performances! Bravo. I have so much to say, but I need to digest a little bit.
Farsi is the most beautiful language in my opinion. And all of the food in the scenes was so delicious. 
Regimesare so embarrassing. I’m in American getting constant updates from our new one. I had an honest thought why don’t they just buy a new gun? Talk about being an American. I love the scene when she had to learn how to use the gun from an American. We forget how much we have influenced suffering in the world or maybe never even knew it in the first place.

Thank you to the filmmakers for doing the story justice. So compelling and beautiful.

Damn.

I didn’t hate it. But the real life controversy is more memorable than the story imo.

The thing is, if my 10 year-old likes it I love it.

Great music. The firefly and Evangeline. John Goodman & Oprah. One of my faves.

The National Review hated this movie 😂
Example from article:
(“This whole country is rotten!” screams the invalid wife, apparently forgetting she barely escaped Europe’s gas chambers.)

Hope it wins the Oscar!

Rewatch 7 months later. Still my favorite movie of 2024.

Will they stop at nothing to sabotage a female director with a big budget!? 🙄 

Hell yes stunts!! 😍

But wait….are old liberals ruining everything?
Loved the score & performances

I had a dream my teeth fell out. I looked it up on a dream book & it said “fear of aging” 🦷 
Hope the actors got wet pay for that last screen! 
Wild ride I don’t want to take again but kudos to the filmmakers!

I can’t believe they didn’t have an intimacy coordinator on this 😳

Loved the montages. Completely adore the way they shot the scenes in the club. Super cool.

Just like poor things last year kind of I’m all set with straight dudes, writing sex workers. 

And yeah, leaving all of the research up to the actress seems wrong. My favorite part was when she told her boss at the strip club until they pay for benefits. She’s not letting them dictate her schedule. Anora the movie was great, Anora the character written by Sean don’t do it for me.

The story and performances broke my heart as did the cinematography & focus pull. Loved it.

I miss my cousin.

Angelina Stan. Wish I liked it more.

I just hate movies where kids get hurt, but this was lovely otherwise and when he began to attack the marketing guy I had so many feelings! Great movie.

This was the first movie I saw in an Alamo. What a beautiful story more of this please congrats on the Golden Globe.

Not my genre, but loved the film. Unfortunately, I saw Juror #2 right before it. As my brother says, lots of cheekbones for one day. Deep was fantastic. Just a general peeve of late…the foley is out of control. Idk whos influencing this trend but I hope you find this random review 😆 I can picture some guy crumpling paper in a studio in the valley so it takes me out of a scene.  Congrats to the filmmakers!

Not my type of movie, but the filmmaking is undeniable!! Idk how to explain it…but it felt like the director respected me except when it came to the Foley. The film was so gross and cool & a visual pleasure. Side note; I love a film with steroids & enabling.

Alcoholics 🤦🏻‍♀️ Smh

My brother loved it and for that I’ll give it one extra half a star…

Love the premise but the execution didn’t land for me. The editing and details were sloppy! I saw the actual key light in the window of the jury room & (my pet peeve) on the glasses of everyone who had them on. Other nitpicky stuff but enough that it completely distracted me.

Again, story was cool. Obviously, we’re all at the mercy of morons. The 12 Angry Men nods = cool, (and I bet the writer denies references) but the writing made me so uncomfortable. Like the 2 angry black jurors, the young dumb girl, the cranky old lady, the heavy true crime kooky lady, the Karen PTA mom. So underdeveloped & annoying. The lead was great as was Toni Collet.

Lives up to the hype. Laughed out loud a number of times. So fun.

Theoretically…what do we think his star sign is? 
Brilliant acting & directing 🥰🤩

Saw this with my mom. She casually turns to me during the final folk fest scene and says, “I went to that.” She also said they nailed the hotel party scenes 😆
Cool experience seeing it with her. Great actors & world builders.
I find these types of movies satisfying & if it’s your thing you’ll love it too.

I’m the jogger between the guys faces at the indoor court. 🎾

Still my favorite Christmas Movie. 🍿

2016 was a bad year. Missed this the first time around. Sort of a perfect movie.

Her dad looks great!!

The least realistic part was the husband being ive financially and emotionally when she wanted to leave. I agree I wanted it weirder and angrier. I want this story but not from rich people. Amy Adams is great.

I love how upset some of these reviewers are. 
For so long people have been telling me I’d love this movie…and they were right! I turned 18 around this time and I bought a scratch ticket, ed to vote & donated blood on my 18th so I feel better. 
The soundtrack is fun. A music montage of a later teenager painting over their childhood bedroom always gets me. And the prom was called Eternal Flame. 🔥 
Laurie Metcalf being the adult child of an alcoholic nailed it.

I’m an actor in MA and got to see some of the script and breakdowns. Didn’t book but the casting folks were amazing and I got the distinct impression the director cared a lot!! It shows! What a movie 💗
The final scene I rewatched 3 times. The mall scene was stunning. Beautiful performances.
These western ma folks are my cousins and I could smell the scenes. I want more like this. 
The interactions with Janet’s second relationship made me dislike Janet, like not really rooting for her. I also found the mother/daughter relationship so uncomfortable and emotionally unsettling, not as nice as other reviews but that’s what I love about this movie I think this one will sit with me for awhile.

Saw at ROX film festival. Wish A24 would promote this more. 😮‍💨

9 million tulips! They used 9 million tulips 🌷

I met breakout star Marissa Bode after the screening and she thought I was asking for directions. Can’t wait for her spinoff series!

Part 2 we need you! Didn’t think I could be radicalized by a movie musical, but here we are.

Please film in the USA more Universal!

All the liars are calling me one…

David Zazlav is BIG mad 😂

They are SO mad Taylor Swift went around using studios to distribute her Era's Tour movie, they resort to this "documentary" 😂. I'll save you the trouble so you don't waste your time; a group of probably underpaid corporate shills doing Warner Bros & Max's ( it used to be hbo but they changed that to screw over artists) bidding. Corporate propaganda plain and simple!

And they do it in the most boring/obvious way 🤣 "She's playing the victim. She's lying. She's deserved it." With a ripped off Stranger Things (esq) score. Um, (Warner) Bro, jokes on you no one cares that you feel wronged. 😂 I hope she's able to sue these streamers out of existence! Crazy that WB puts out Barbie and this. Pick a lane losers! 

Prince was always right about everything!

Meh. Wanted so much more. Joy got me with the quote about growing up. Took my 9 year old and a bunch of friends to see it in the theater opening night, so I could have been distracted but it wasn’t engaging enough.

I’ve never rooted so hard against a character as Carrie Underwood’s bitchy youth group leader. They insinuated Bethany lost an arm bc she didn’t help kids in Mexico and wanted to do a photo shoot for her new sponsor! They went to Thailand and were the worst white saviors ever. 2 stars bc I like surfing movies.

Rewatched bc I got an audition where they said think the sisters from the Fighter 😆 ok got it loud and clear

Hurt monsters hurt monsters. My daughter is sick & we watched it but I had no idea what it was about. We both enjoyed it. Lots of murder for a kids movie & my bro is right, the neoliberalism was rough once I saw it. But I love a justifiably upset girl lead & it made me cry.
