“Depends on whether they’re smart pretending to be idiots or idiots pretending to be smart.”
Very interesting to see a counterpoint to so many left-leaning movies, in The Hunt they’re the bad guys — it works well, and like most right-leaning media it doesn’t completely make sense, but it’s one hell of a good time.
★★★★☆
“As it turns out, I’m capable of much unpleasantness.”
Wonderfully directed, it’s such a weird movie, with an offbeat tone that doesn’t match the authentic costumes or pageantry of the period it’s set in; hilarious, dark, and meaningful, this is worth a watch (and perhaps even a rewatch)!
★★★★☆
“You have a regurgitative reaction to mistruths.”
Knives Out, while fun, falls apart under inspection – it’s reveal isn’t shocking, there’s little suspense (you know exactly how and why the death happened in the first act), and while the cast is enormous and wonderful, it all feels a bit ham.
★★★☆☆
“We’re lighter, we’re faster, and if that don’t work, we’re nastier.”
A really solid movie for grown-ups that could have easily become an all-out action racing drama but instead was something closer to a space film: a team’s human engineering efforts against all odds with some excellent driving sequences — I definitely drove my car a little faster home after watching it.
★★★★☆
“I think you’ll find that metal is the strongest thing on the earth followed by dynamite and then muscles.”
I really dig Taika Waititi’s brand of humour and intricate but light story-telling; Jojo Rabbit is hilarious at times, gut-wrenching at others, and comes together to form something really great.
