The fact that the infection only affected British people really bumped this one up for me

Watched on Friday May 23, 2025.

It can be hard to escape a nihilistic view of art today: Today’s culture can feel so oversaturated, unoriginal, and past-pillaging that when something refreshing, new, and innovative comes along, you have to notice. If you’re on the fence about going and seeing this, do it now on the largest screen you can find. Sinners is a cinematic experience. Everything here oozes ion and love for the craft and the creativity of filmmaking. The fact it does so serves the film’s core themes of preserving creative freedom and expression, right in the face of the corporate slop of Sinners’ contemporaries. Sinners has many supernatural elements to it: The mystical powers of gifted musicians, spells and hexes, and literal vampires, but what confronts the viewer, pulls at their fear far more deeply, is the reality at the narrative’s core: Cycles of forceful change, exploitation of community and culture, and the disconnect between us all. The film can drag a bit, and I have issues with the climax, but overall, Sinners is an incredibly creative, engaging, and important film.

Frankendude, Warwick, and the overall production were tuff. The dogs, the weird kid who wants to be a rapper for Halloween, and the references to Christian supremacy are all just weird.

When they zoomed out and showed that the entire film occurred in Wisconsin it all clicked

Jamie Lee Curtis what are you doing in this movie 😭

Watched on Sunday February 23, 2025.

I really connected with this. I understand that this kind of film isn’t for everyone: it’s monotonous, repetitive, and, in its own way, boring. We basically follow a toilet-cleaner’s life for about a week. We learn a little about his backstory, his family, and who he is. But the essence of this film can’t be captured in broad . Perfect Days is the noise that a drink makes when it falls out of a vending machine, it’s the fluttering leaves of a familiar tree in the park, a friendly voice in a tight bar, the warmth of the sun on your face. There were so many small moments that made me smile: The way Hirayama cares for his plants, smiles and nods at a stranger, guides a child back to his mom. So many refractions under a banal, unremarkable surface. Lighting is used beautifully, and again, every time a song I knew came on, I couldn’t help it but grin. Being able to find the simplest pleasures in every day is something everyone should look to attain in their life. There isn’t a driving force outside of us, but a willingness and a pleasure within to carry on.

Down bad

The way he started salivating when imagining the murder reminded me of all the people who liked the Dahmer Netflix Series

Ultimately, what this film had going for it gets overshadowed by the fact that it is a biopic. Fan service, embellishment, and dramatization of something all that unremarkable drag down what is a well made, well acted, and well directed film. And yes, I think acoustic Dylan is better.

Doesn’t drag as much as I the first watch! As visually, sonically, and stylistically stunning as you would expect a film with so much acclaim to be. A great selection for Caroline and I’s second virtual movie night. I’d much rather be sitting beside her, but I guess that’s the way things crumble, cookie-wise :)
