Punch-Drunk Love

Punch-Drunk Love is my one of my favorite PTA films tied with Phantom Thread and i know he has a flawless filmography (i fucking love each one of them). kind of cool that my favorites of his are his stories of romance. out of all his films, this was the simplest and easiest watch. it's colorful, it's funny, and it's romantic. growing up, i was a huge Adam Sandler fan (still am) and watching him go do a role like Barry is a feast to watch. his dramatic chops were underappreciated for years after this film came out until Uncut Gems (he was fantastic and also one of my favorite films ever). i really admire PTA's style of cinema and he's quite known to make lengthy films, but PDL was (too) short but it made up for its somewhat absurdist mood, charming leads, eyecandy cinematography and fast-paced vibe. Punch-Drunk Love will go down as one of the films that i will take to my grave.
