Mr. Movies has done it again. The utter silence in the theater during that submarine scene made me regain a little faith in humanity. I love cinema! And Mr. Milchick himself, Tramell Tillman, thank God!

Overhyped. Two important scenes had weird sudden frame cuts. I wonder what happened in the editing room. Wish the script could have been more nuanced too (the 'i love yous' were cringe to say the least). Michael and Jack saved it.

The writing is much stronger when it focus on the character's personal struggles with love and grief, instead of any type of reckoning with the Holocaust.

The ending will test you.

A movie about the possibility that love is enough. Zac Efron with the performance of a lifetime.

Jeremy Irons as Aramis with the long hair and leather jerkin combo is up there with Gina Gershon's Corky as the hottest any human has ever looked. I grew up with this movie and will always love it for the nostalgia ride it is.

The autumn movie of Pablo's trilogy. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Angelina transformed.

People forget Frank Sinatra is a terrific actor. Carried the whole thing on his back. The script could have been polished for better nuance and avoid gun propaganda. But then it's a post ww2 noir movie so the moral ambiguity tracks.

That rumbling sound that builds up with the opening credits rocked the shit out of me. I gasped every time it came back during the film. Amazing cast, amazing production, sets and costumes to die for. I wish it had been 5 hours long to cram two of my favorite plots from the book (which were cut and refashioned to fit the already lengthy runtime), but the script is tight and keeps the essence of Edmond's story. Pierre Niney carries it splendidly. Bravo!

Nothing truly prepares you for how badly lit this is. Which is a shame because Cynthia Erivo is absolutely amazing in it.

This is a spiritual experience.

Koreeda's trademark focus on the mundane is wasted in a convoluted script that doesn't know where to go amidst a babybox, a murder, teen prostitutes, an indebted conman, a man who was abandoned as a child and cops whose lives blur with duty. Overall the film lacks the clear vision that usually elevates Koreeda's peek into the lives of his characters to an earnest meditation on human existence.

I'm glad I didn't watch this when it came out because I would probably have lost it at the fact it didn’t win every award there is. I could mention the impeccable blocking, the editing, the sound, the themes of mountain meeting the sea, but when you do romance right, everything flows. The yearning is simply off the charts.

Boys Love The Movie. Also, the world stops spinning whenever Patrick Swayze shows up.

This is the guy Ridley Scott should have hired to write the speeches for Gladiator 2. Unexpected ending but perfect for the times we live in.

Impressive in the sense it does feel like a movie written and directed by AI. Alas, we all know the superior film would be about Guillaume and Willy's romance. We can't waste chemistry like that in this economy.

Sakura Ando is the best actress alive today. This movie was so incredible it made me rethink every rating I ever gave here.
