Featured review
I'm by no means a film critic, but I thought a review coming from my perspective might be helpful.
I watched two movies this weekend: Godzilla vs Kong, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
Godzilla was fun. I thought seeing giant monsters fight in Hong Kong was very entertaining. The plot and characters were a distraction from the action I was looking for. I watched it, thought, "hell yeah," and moved on.
This movie was an entirely different experience. I was enthralled in these characters. The cinematography spoke just as much as the dialogue did. The actors spoke as much with their silence as with their words. I was crying at the end, and expect this movie to leave an impression. This is art, just like the paintings of the film itself. Cannot recommend enough. Godzilla was brainless entertainment, this was a moving experience to be a part of.
No matter what movies you usually like, do yourself a favor and watch this.
