Punch-Drunk Love
10/10
Absolutely perfect film, I had the fattest smile on my face ever whilst watching this
This is a wild and weird rollercoaster of a film. The A Plot of the romance between the 2 main characters is so lovely and Beautiful and the B plot is super panic-inducing and stressful in the best way possible. Adam sandler is spectacular in this, i geniunely saw him more as his character Barry than I did the actor which really suprised me, he’s pathetically awkward, hillariously funny, and cripplingly relatable at times. The way this film deals with ideas of anxiety and love is something I’ve never seen quite the likes of before. The music only adds to this, it’s extremely varied but achieves everything it sets out to do flawlessly, it’s unique and super memorable. The film visually is also spectacular, I’m a sucker for good use of Colour in film and Punch-Drunk Love has that in abundance, super vibrant and full of personality. All of the camera work in this film is absolutely incredible, it can Help to paint beautiful scenes at times and add to the electric and panicked nature of this film in others. The pacing and runtime of this film is also absolutely perfect, It has absolutely 0 fat every small part to this film is meaningful and never a dull moment occurs. And ontop of all this the movie is incredibly funny in its own weird unique way, much like everything else in the film
This is an experimental masterpiece that I loved every inch on and left with a big old cheesy grin on my face. Thoroughly reccomended but just don’t go into this thinking it’s your regular romcom 😂
