Last Film You Saw

[Bigga]

Arent most Oscar nominees like that utter shite no one really watches.

It cost between $14M to $25M to make. That's essentially a cheap 'B' movie anywhere in that budget.

It grossed $107M on word-of-mouth, basically with very little commercial advertisement (maybe had 2 trailers) but with A24's trust.

That return is pretty amazing.

I usually like A24 films. Haven't seen this but the public love it.

94% approval on rotten tomatoes and 8/10 on IMDb.
Even metacritic 84%.
It's very well regarded obviously.

It's a great film if you don't try to pigeon hole it.

You're an A24 fan as I am, so you'll not have that issue.

Just watched Tar. I'll never ever think about watching that film again. It wasn't a bad film. The first hour and 20 was promising. I found the discussion about interpretation of music interesting.

However, if you can explain the final 15/20 mins of that film to me I'd appreciate it. The stakes were so low. Spoilers

Rich intellectual snobbish sexual predator loses her mind, job and family. Power corrupts...even if you're a lesbian shocker! Meh.

Blanchett was good.

That's fair.

My own review said it didn't know what it wanted to be, so I found it pretty shocking someone did not oversee it and ask 'Soooo... what's the story here...?'!

Yes

I see Everything Everywhere all at once swept the Oscars, utter dross.

Not really my cup of tea but I enjoyed it overall

Yes.

Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler & Black Swan, Aronofsky.

Tried watching 'Tar' because of the extremely high praise it's received. In the USA you can watch 'Tar' for free on Peacock.

I made it through the first 45 minutes - barely. It struck me as an over-wordy, pretentious, boring film about a conductor.

1/10. Stopped watching after I'd had enough.

Luther.

It passes a couple of hours while youre playing on the computer.

Thought it was a real let down and lost all interest in it as the film went on. Felt really forced in terms of the whole plot and had none of the style and menace that Luther series always had. Very disappointing.
