Obviously both movies are about class, Snowpiercer just hits me harder on it.
I think the thing with Parasite, for me, was that it was built up so huge that I was expecting the best movie ever made. I probably need to watch it again to give it another chance. It was a perfectly fine move, but I was more floored by Marriage Story, Joker, 1917 and Hollywood
Same, apart from Marriage Story which I thought was pretty boring. Its no ‘War of the Roses’!
Uncut Gems - I quite liked the style, its got a weird, 80’s vibe to the score and a good performance by Sandler. The problem I had with it is its manic approach, comic hoodlums and meaningless characters. Sandler doesn’t really spiral into anything, just keeps riding the wave of misfortune like its not real.
Vox Lux - Again with the Lo-Fi approach, which really works for the first part of the film, but falls horrifically flat in the second part. Its a mess and doesn’t recover.
The Grudge - Thought we’d get out of the heat and watch a movie. Its a proper stinker. Some scares but really bizarre choices with any sense chucked out the window. Best part was the trailer for ‘Invisible Man’, which looks quite good but I had to turn down working on coz I was working on something else!
