<p>dumb girly fun while also upsettingly accurate at showing us how consumerism is going to slowly poison everything and late stage capitalism wants to infiltrate and destroy us and everything we love (but like /lh you know?)</p>
Marisa Tomei mothers so hard in this, her monologue about the “bullshit question” she’s asked is so good!!
my review kinda says it all but this one is so so beautiful and warm but it is actually an animated account historical Irish/British tensions cause it’s NEVER to early to teach the children that the British are in fact coming and we hate them sooooo much for that cause they spoil everything.
period piece, pretty dresses, old timey dance, and old english love confessions (i saw how much you enjoy pride and prejudice so jane austen returns)
being a teenage girl feels like you’ve caught lycanthropy sometimes :( everything is changing - there’s so much hair, so much moon talk and control over your emotional state, and your always so hunger you could kill a man… or something like that
<p>just in case you wanna see that Cher is one of the few singer to actor pipeline taking people who can actually act - oh and mother/daughter relationships etc.</p>
another animation by Cartoon Saloon!! this one is really seeped in Celtic folklore the main one being the tale/belief in the selkies but lots other traditions and mythos are sprinkled in along the way, just really beautiful visually too
gaudy and gorg aka. looking camp right in the eye (one day i will do a costume from this movie istg)
best accidental watch for me and jas ever!! constantly on edge and havana rose lui is just such a talent that i can’t wait for others to find (between this and Bottoms i’m so excited to keep up with her in 2024)
some elevated horror cause you said you enjoyed Midsommar (I might see if I have any ‘horror in the light’ as well actually) this one also has themes exploring grief I feel like that’s pretty common in elevated horror but this one the babadook itself is a manifestation of that grief - cool people who aren’t me articulate this much better
<p>I had to watch this for my degree but i really enjoyed it and it was hella interesting kinda like a fake documentary an exploration of how the world is unsafe for women and what the dystopian future (that we live in more and more everyday) will look like if society continues to treat us this way cause even when they say liberation will women ever really completely be</p>
i know I know superhero films have killed cinema and they’re all worthless exploitations of iconic properties like some theme park ride (according the Mr. Scorsese) but this one is so fun and campy and just leans into the silliness of comic book villains and hero’s rather than military propaganda which is exactly what Batman and Gotham City is really about like please look up DC villains there are so many stupid ones on there😭😭 this and <b><i>The Lego Batman Movie</i></b> are the superior Batman iterations
this one I feel like you’ll love or find really boring and hate I feel like no one really middles on it too much cause (I hate saying this usually but it’s true) the girls that get it, get it and the girls that don’t, don't<br>
obligatory Scream feature!! it’s my favourite movie ever i literally have multiple posters of it and watch it all the time, i can probably recite it backwards but yes i know you’re not a horror person really but this is here just cause it would be sacrilege if i didn’t
idk what your opinions are on Barry Keoghan or if you even watched <b><i>Saltburn</i></b>/<b><i>The Banshees of Inisherin </i></b>but if you did this is some further proof that he’s just got such a talent for playing little freaks.<br><br>It’s a thriller and let me tell you it is so anxiety inducing I was on edge the entire time but Yorgos is truly the king or weirdo dread (defo don’t watch when your having a stressed day it’ll tip you over the edge) and obvi it’s gotta be based in mythology cause I need like every other film to have some connection to classics - whether that ancient mythos or classic literature - just in case you don’t know it and wanna do some linking after it’s the myth of Iphigenia :))
