knew it would be bad of course, but didn't realize it would be one of the most evil, repugnant, treacherous pieces of media i've ever consumed. it's like if my nemesis John Green tossed Margaret (2011) and Babel (2006) into a blender that eviscerates all intelligence and meaning. somehow manages to render Oscar Isaac, a famously charismatic man, completely devoid of charm.
i started laugh-crying and rolling around on my friend's apartment floor 12 minutes in when the self-insert protagonist said he wanted to write a screenplay with his love interest (Olivia Wilde) so they could be like "a husband-and-wife Tarantino." WHAT???? FUCK YOU!!!!!!! i don't mean that in a "it's hip and easy to dunk on Tarantino" way. i…
watching this movie while having a cold and being bedridden is like having sleep paralysis and the demons that are haunting your peripheral vision are oscar isaac and olivia wilde in their pulp fiction cosplay doing the whip and nae nae and all you can do is silently scream and pray for the mercy of a bullet
WHOA!
I was reading reviews either this or last week that had me deciding maybe I shouldn’t even see this movie. WHAT!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?! Then I read another couple of reviews in the last couple of days that made me think I should check this out (I almost ditched this to see the new Jack White documentary).
Some things in the story might come off as irrelevant or flippant, but these things are mostly justified. It does get a bit messy and jarring with the different narrators. It mainly works, though. I was definitely taken on an emotional rollercoaster. The plot points seemed thoughtful as opposed to contrived, so it mainly worked for me. The narrative was playful, yet deadly serious. The…
Never before on screen have I seen filth so reliably spewed across multiple generations. This is an insult to the incredible cast, to the audience’s intelligence, and to anyone who has ever suffered trauma (or quite frankly, lived life in general). This is two hours of exasperating exposition, all doled out through monologues in which family trees are explicated with the subtlety of a guillotine. Actual serious issues are swept under the rug as the screenplay jacks off to its “interconnectivity” and idiot student thesis about life as an unreliable narrator. It isn’t until the last third when the film approaches anything resembling a story, but by then, it’s already warped itself into a manipulative, callous, and arrogant deformity. This…
In college, I heard about a torture in Greece in which an offender was locked inside a large brass bull and a large fire lit underneath, literally roasting the criminal to death. Apparently, due to the way the bull was constructed, the long, anguished screams of the victims were muffled into sounding like the groans and bellows of a bull. There's no way of knowing why I thought of that while watching this.
made it through the first chapter, about 40 minutes, probably the worst screenplay ever written but i guess i'll never find out for sure.
