Paddington 2

Never seen my gf cry like this. I think it could’ve been partially bc her toe hurt but this movie had our asses in shambles by the end. Saw a terrible movie last week that I can’t find on Letterboxd which is good bc I am too cowardly to give it an honest, scathing review—instead I’ll subtweet it with this paddington review. It wanted to be everything paddington is not: edgy for edginess’ sake, abstruse as a smokescreen  from its hollowness, it wore intelligence as a mask of detachment, hoping that would make it the queen of this clout-chasing scene’s masquerade ball. Paddington on the other hand is earnest, fun and says more about humanity than this other film could ever. Love to filmmakers and artists, I don’t even like rating movies I think it’s kinda dumb, but sometimes it’s fun. People feel free to rip my movies apart too. I will pretend not to care. Let’s look after each other like the browns look after paddington. Love to u this Tuesday -maxton
