Amélie

i don’t know i’ve ever seen so much excess creativity in a movie and i loved it! so much damn thought had to go into all of these scenarios for them to be all together absurd, entertaining, endearing, and slightly believable and it was totally pulled off. i thought the ensemble was especially great too every character was a really nice crossover between cartoonish and deeply personal, which i think describes the whole movie. other than a little bit of tedious development at the end the main thing that bothered me was how infallible amelie came off. this always bothers me in movies and thinking about why, in this case, it feels like the director was build-a-bearing this perfect idea of a woman who is flawed only in ways that aren’t really flaws, just quirks. anyways, still such a goddamn good time and never lets off the gas.
