This film was on TV and in general because i love Ribisi, I decided to watch it. I then find out that it's Goldberg directed and I love him as actor as well. So I was sure I was in for a treat. Vibes of Lynch were obvious, but executed in cheap 00s way. At the beginning it felt too kitsch, but tbh it grew quickly on me and rather than kitsch it style was echo of the early 00's and I loved it.

Ribisi is indeed a master, character he has to play is not straightforward or easy and he portrays him excellently. It's not easy I think to pull of what he did and it's pity that he's not well rewarded actor! In general to me that film had a star studded cast of early 00s - Ribisi, Potente, Vaughn, Ricci, Jackson, Greer.

Story might be a bit hard to follow, due to delusions of Ribisi, but he's play and story is intuitive so it helps. Plot is typical celebrity drama, failed marriage and search for something better.

This is genius, a masterpiece! Visuals and sounds are of course top notch and hardly hardly to be matched, but the way story is told, the layers, the complexities, the progression of the story and tension is extremely rewarding. I read reviews that it is boring or slow, but I cannot understand how you can make such statement about this picture. If you're loving sci-fi, this is five-star sci-fi brought to screen, holy grail of filmmaking and bible to anything about fictional "universe-making".

This story is about coming-of-age, facing your destiny, being rebellious, feeling special and chosen one. I think all humans can relate to such intimate internal topics. Story is both super intimate and political as well, sprinkle that with mysterious Bene Gesserit lore and you have everything in it. Also bonus - that scene at long diner table with Duke is worth being put in Louvre.

Only thing, it might be dense for someone to take in everything properly. Two viewings + some recap videos on youtube can help. I don't understand how Herbert doesn't have similar popular fandom as GoT got (well I get, but quality wise Herbet is better imho, sci-fi is more appealing at least to me).

I heard about this movie come out while I was studying filmmaking in France, well I used to consume movies like crazy for some reason I didn't see it, it always lingered back in my mind, not because of director, actors - just the title. Well after 12 years I just randomly decided to watch it (year is 2020 covid-19 pandemic raging). I am Speechless. I haven't done any films and changed my career, but this movie is probably the most beautiful, with bananas crazy plotline (still simple tho), great acting and directing so discreet and yet perfect, it is moderately funny, warm - Jesus it's like a Christmas movie for a film buffs, that you can watch any season of the year.

The amount of warmth it leaves you with is astounding, maybe because its covid now and im sentimental, but boy this film delivered! For those who have the most raw, naive love for film imprinted on their hearts - you will enjoy this!

I think someone needed to say it here: her brief quick performance is true gem! What an actress, you give that woman 2 minutes of airtime and she's just squeezes all the juice into it!

Coming out from last weeks homeland finale that outlandishly good, and now landing on this season premiere is kinda lame.

Let me explain. Fan if both shows equally (maybe i liked billions more), but somehow most of the scenes seemed very unnatural, writing is cringeworthy, bailing so much on crypto is such a disaster and lame move that i have no words. You waste these stunning actors on dialogues so bad its painful to watch. Were I browsing through cryptotwitter or watching and interrogation scen, really don't feed me what is fiat currency based on and all other monetary policy BS, also Axe and Wags doing ayahuasca, really guys? I mean when you used Nassim's quote here and there by mid season, it was passable, sometimes good, there was tension already built-up for that kind if things, but now at the premiere? And wrestling champion? Give me a break. Let alone bringing back cats and mouse narrative AGAIN? Please no. Also you're the ones who made Malkovic storyline pretty cool and menacing and now you build around VF cover? Have no words. Very disappointed. Will stick few more episodes. Stars are for the terrific actors you have.

Saw this picture for the first time around 15 years ago, rewatched it many times afterwards, fell in love at first sight. In quarantine times rewatching ensemble films is somehow soothing. One thing I'd say is that for over 180 minutes movie, the momentum (pun intended) provided is astounding! Watch the build-up, the drama of it, the acting, the complexity and tragedy, simplicity, the way it all builds up *is* the filmmaking. Not a second in this film is wasted! Momentum it is, crescendo it is, the build-up it is.

Going into finale was already full of emotions but I didn't expect that. This episode itself was typical to series rollercoaster ride. We grew to hate Carrie I guess, she keeps betraying people, and damn time came for her betraying Saul. Scenes were so full of emotion, so well direct, leaving us speechless. The way I see it, it ends very bitterly for Carrie though, because she struggles with two worlds all the time and does it her way, it takes her to a lonely places. There was no way for her, she had to become an asset, a substitution for Ana, someone she understood meant a world to Saul. So she abandons her kid, her friend and mentor and plunges into this new world. It was emotional all along. Final sacrifice Carrie does is painful, but hey she's one crazy mofo.

What a tv, what a show and a deserving finale! I will miss it dearly!

First great storytelling and directing and acting. Esty is played superbly!!! Depiction of community is so entertaining and discovering, I was watching these scenes while learning their way of life, and while I think depiction was sprinkled with humor, it wasn't much disrespectful, at least it left me admiring, respecting and wanting to learn more about traditions. Now story of Esty IS universal, one doesn't need to understand well the pressures and traditions she's put under. The arc of her character is classic. She's battling between two worlds, the one she's even is becoming more and more uptight for her, making her to go and seek refuge, free herself, explore herself, liberate herself - actress is portraying everything so good it's crazy. Two things I was a bit disappointed by - scenes in Germany seemed too sketchy, they seem dull and borderline generic, with exception of few moments of course. It's not actors but depth and directing, I think if we're presented with job done perfectly well both in Brooklyn, we're expecting same thing from Berlin. Second is that while Ok I get it, it's memoir, it's Etsy's story of liberation, I couldn't stop enjoying portrayal of Yanky. He is going through kind of a same process as she, the degree and depth of his character is so varying, at times you're against him, at times you're with him, eventually you see him grow as well, grow into independently understanding and loving the woman (maybe love is strong word but...). While Esty wanders in Berlin liberated already, Yanky chases her yet confined by his communities rules, but he tries to understand her on the way, tries to be good to her at the cost of denouncing of his community as well. I think he's equally heroic in this story, if not more, it's people like Yanky who bridge these worlds, who are eager to learn and genuinely good at heart. Yes Esty is typical classical woman seeking freedom and herself (selfish ideal), while Yanky seeks to bridge self, community and other vulnerable. I really so rooted for them to still end up together and what the hell maybe stay in Berlin (to be a fair play). Yanky had a still road and many tests to go, but with Esty he could imho. Path to liberation is not always a solo game, if you can grab somebody's hand along the way, you're more generous. Anyway great story and great acting and great directing overall

Ima hardcore woody fan, weirdly i love his works starting from early 90s up to match point, after which i love his films sporadically (but love any one of them anyway). This one is definitely fresh and very well written. Dialogues are gold, main character is typical allens ny character. Nevertheless id say i enjoyed "whatever works" the most. But this still is the allen at his best!

My 10 year old nephew asked to watch it (he has seen it and said it was cool, and because kid has terrific taste in films I trusted him). Movie sucks - first visually while watching it i thought WTF is this a movie or an instagram post with default colorful filter, then story and dialogues are nonsense, then whole story is jusy stupid, evetually i wonder how the hell is this a kids movie, language horrible i mean HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!

DO NOT MAKE YOUR KIDS WATCH IT. Filthy, sexual, vomi-inducing, pointless dumb stuff.

Then Addidas bought ghe second half and director thought to include 6 minite rep sequences.

Anyway this made me uncomfortable to watch, kids offered such roles should make the offerers serve jail-time.

I evetually think my nephew tricked me or did he really likebit, i guess its the former

It is a total climax, this episode starts right away with moderate drama and by the middle it shoots right into the stratosphere with its packed drama, wrapping some open issues, keeping dome things open for twists. I mean it definitely delivers satisfaction to some progression of characters, while reviving the oldtime long standing character plays.

It wraps enough of the story to make you scream, it brings enough twists to shock and wonder, and it leaves enough to wait another year.

Well, fan since season 1. And was legitimate fan until s8e6 came out. I said screw the petitions and all the haters. This is because none of us are such lauded writers in my opinion who tackled complicated books with ease and even went beyond them. I did find and see the inconsistencies in the last season but I would say that they are all bearable because it's seems at this point a very complicated thing to wrap everything up, so the job writers and producers were doing was decent and visually satisfying. I was okay blinding my eyes to the mishaps, but I was aware of them.

No I know that until the series finale I was just blindly hoping that in the last 80 minutes it would somehow pleasingly end and explain things that viewers would consider open plots. I even had my own very simple and satisfying ending imagined - totally bittersweet, and I knew there is low chance of it playing out - but nothing prepared me for this disappointment. Now I know I tried to grab upon the hope that it will all be fine in the end, that hope nevertheless comes from previous good writing, thus the disappointment when the finale is so mediocre that I hesitated whether it's worth keep on watching or not.

P.S I do not write this because I'm bitter of how characters who are cheered are not given good endings, it's just the collection of everything that saddens me so much.

Was waiting like crazy for this movie. Cast - outstanding, story - very interesting, timing of release - great, director - based on big short, entertaining.

But, apart from cast, this movie is a) weird and b) boring. Very kitsch in style which is sad and sometimes incomprehensible, because something is weird to do and doesnnot add up to narrative, shouldn't be done - this movie is full of such weird decisions. Boring because it doesn't hold true to any distinct storyline. Not even saying that it's full of itself from political bias.

Also they could use more of Rockwell.

Anyway, it seemed to be a great thing from trailer, turned out meh

Well I saw the movie last Sunday, today is Wednesday and by now I've seen this film 7 times. I mean this is outstanding. What Jessica Chastain does is outlandish, the story and the writing is beyond crazy. Weird for me personally to glorify a political movie but OH DEAR LORD, this is truly something.

If you love films that are build around characters then this is it. You can see how one is invincible and how the Big Sam is taking it all down the gutter. I'm so mad that it didn't make Oscars last year, this is totally unfair, whereas this year we hot Post nominated here and there, this movie is way more important in its narrative, in its artistic value.

Watch it, be intrigued by the marvelous writing and outstanding acting.

Well, frankly it is easy to binge, short 8 episodes put online altogether. It feels a little bit weird kind of a "chumscrubber" or "thumbsucker" movie (if you're familiar with it) but a bit longer, with different story arcs of course.

Actors are fantastic, story is simple and beautiful. This is definitely something refreshing, quick and beautiful to watch. I like the vibe, I like dialogues, the episodes flow so easily it's just a pure joy to watch.

This is really done in the best tradition of some cynical teen drama movies, it has more elaborate scenes and more twisted story because its not a film format. Well I'm not going to talk about the plot, will just say 2 crazy 17 years old embark on the road trip to escape their everyday setting and things happen, very road trippy things.

Enjoy

I don't like Black Mirror that much, I think it has a very flat character treatment and I'm most of the time amazed why this show is so popular. It caters very pop and simplistic messages, it's not original as well and it puts some pretty dark modern stereotypes through a very flat characters. So I was wondering what was exactly wrong with this show, because it has most of the time good music, good cinematography and it seems to be well produced - but with this episode Bryce just very indicatively showed what this show lacks. Because it conveys most of the time simple flat messages, the characters played who are underdeveloped in the script usually are not attractive and does not give any depth to the episode - well Bryce did the job perfectly, I will not say Joe Wright is a genius at all, he was just good at knowing how to make a good actress feel comfortable so he took most out of her to the screen.

And I won't take an argument that characters are flat on purpose because these series are about soulless future tech world, spare me that BS (and your 1 point ratings - pun intended), if you watch a series and if you're ambitious about the project at least max out actors performance of your characters. There are just ton of things that actors can bring to this show to make it even more impactful, because messages being simple are needed cause world is becoming more and more bleak itself.

These 7 stars are Bryce stars, I'd give zilch to this show

I went out as soon as I could to watch it. From trailer it seemed to be very interesting and very beautiful, I also watched the original a week before once again. I truly love the original and I enjoyed the soundtrack for the whole week before, nothing is as close to the eerie original blade runner soundtrack. So I went in on the 3D version.

I won't spoil a lot. The movie is beautifully shot, although I'll see in 2D as well, because I prefer 2D brightness compared to 3D. The storyline can stand alone in 2049, although that is something I thought at the beginning. The more film goes deeper into the story the more I felt connected to the original film and I think the goers who have not seen the original or did not loved it for the all the weird reasons, will miss out on atmosphere and emotions conveyed in 2049. I enjoyed the duration, I enjoyed the acting, DP (well everyone is right about it). I had a little trouble to navigate into the 2049 storyline though, but I think it was on purpose, because by the end of the movie I still had (like in original blade runner) this monstrous question over (although different this time), I had a different feeling, I had confusion and I had developed love for the character - I think this would not be possible be it more concrete story, so by the end it helped to give the viewer exactly what he went in for (at least for me).

Compared to the original, 2049 is more complex film, has a more complex storyline, but is worth every second of watching it. It is worth 30 years of wait. It is worth everything, for those who loved the original this is a beautiful continuation. It left me crying and as well thinking and as well it still leaves lot of questions. This is truly a beautiful film and Villeneuve has done amazing job on any aspect. Music, tension, visuals, acting and everything in 2049 feels complete, some scenes are simply fantastic both in action, physics involved and of course visually. I'm still in awe from this one, still thinking about it, and still having the emotion that I left the cinema with - and this is definitely something we pay money for.

It sucks because I think general audience will not be moved by this dark sci-fi, but it is so beautiful and poetic, 2049 is obviously destined to be another cult.

I also assume that haters will be saying how complicated this one is compared to the original but I have to say the complexity just made it more beautiful and let's be realistic making a sequel on the original could not be a streamlined story. Go watch 3 shorts as well on youtube to have some questions filled. If I had only one regret and complain about this film it would be that soundtrack album for this is not as beautiful as the original, but I guess that is what Hans Zimmer means, bringing in Vangelis was a very different thing for the original and bringing generic score composer on this one is well not enough creative I guess (nothing against Zimmer, but I was waiting for something more vulnerable as OST), and I would as well say that dialogues are not as powerful as in original, I wanted "tears in rain" moment here too, but I guess that is the result of a more complex storyline, we do not get that obvious phrases, but we get such a dense emotions through interior dialogues of characters and the atmosphere that it is enough.

Overall words and review from my perspective is just a ramble, go and watch it and love it and feel it and bleed it - this is such a powerful cinematic piece!

This is so far the best episode overall of the series for me. It's neatly packed in just under 50 minutes, it starts with pretty amazing storyline developments, finally seeing Stark kids reuniting after all these seasons. You get a lot of character's details in between that are very intense, like Littlefinger and Bran's "chaos is the ladder", or Sansa staring down at her sister fighting invincibly with Brienne, Jon and Dany cave talk, Jon, Davos and Missandei talk - they all contain too much to point to where characters are and who they are at this point in the story. It's all packed in a way you don't get these kind of moments in other episodes - but then, oh then the mighty war starts. That scene is nuts, with imagery, with sound, with tension. You root for both, no not both but three of them - dragon, Danny and Jamie, and yes you get Tyrion as well who has the same revelation moment when he stares down at his brother running towards Dany. Well this is by far really one of the best directed episodes! I got my eyes and ears glued to the screen and speakers.

I watched it, because there was nothing to do, but to look through some channels, and for an instant i catch up Monica on TV. then Cassel appeared and i was fully but not in a good meaning inside this movie! movie is not bad really, if it's 5 am and you don't know what to do, and if the TV set is on and this movie is on screening you can watch it! don't mind if you began its watching from the midst! now something about acting! as you all know, actors are good, but i'll stress the good acting from Cassel, and what about directing, it's not as good as it can be! i think that most of other directors could made this movie in a better way!

watching this excellent movie, i was realizing that i was watching thing that i will like on 100%! I was amazed when i was watching the beautiful capturing of each moments, great words, great and the perfect directing! This movie is the film that will journey through the times of the future and the past! It's black and white and it's splendid, it's relishing us from inside, it's long but it is that much interesting that i could never imagine! and the last when i saw the girl in red, a little running girl in red in that black white movie i was crying! I couldn't stop and the last moments when the Schindler's People are approaching, and coming through black horizon and the whole picture is becoming color i was shocked, it's perfectly made! and the moment when they are taken to the bath room, yes that moment made me cry again! it's the best Hollywood movie about the War World II! and Spielberg is the greatest directors in the entire world! i just bow, i just cry and i just, you know, i can't find any word to tell you my feelings!!! IT IS THE Great MOVIE!!! (maybe not my favor but it's have the notable place in my mind)

when i just watched a piece of it i thought that i won't see that movie because i realized it was something on what i will cry! but then interest grew and once i turned it on! from the very begin you can understand that there will be no great cameo or good directing but i can't say so, the story was amazingly great! splendid! i liked also the way that grandma played her role, and child too was good at being bad! some great vies were taken but i liked more than nothing the story! can't say that it is for the older generation because they all know this problem! i would like to stress that movie is more for children and teenagers. spoiled kids some grew ups because they will cry! this story is telling us a story how can a spoiled child recover maybe not very fast but not late! we can see how grandmas love us more then their lives! writing this review i'm crying because i 'm figuring out some moments in my head!!! but being grown up you will just remember this movie as a good story! which end is telling us: dedicated to all grandmas!

Elephant? what does it really means? what can we say when the endless half an hour is ended? my answer will be ,nothing'! movie is great! some kind of boring but still watching it more attentively you'll figure out great moments let alone the music of Beethoven which suits movie as it was written for it sharp! the main idea is not about the gun for me it's really about elephant!!! I would like to give a piece of advice while watching this movie get your remote controller away! if you know the Gus Van Sant's recently founded style you won't be able to criticize movie as i did! i really enjoy its watching. it is some kind of ,dark' brain-wave in the end that what is the ordinary day! how can it end, it's easy to watch everything simple way just the goal of the movie is to listen and watch, open your as wide as you can because you'll see real teenage world and maybe you'll find the elephant!!! for the people who just know what the movie is! this one is one of my favorite! I do love it!
