I wish I hadn't seen Alex Garland being a centrist shithead in interviews about this, because I liked it quite a bit
Not an apolitical movie, but a focused on the role of press and media. I wish it had gotten into the war motives more explicitly but it felt a conscious choice to explore imagery and the press. Not subtle about who's who in the war, anyway
Outside of that, I'm a New England-based software engineer by day. I'm also big into #boardgames , and got bitten by the #pickleball bug about two years ago.
I'm also big into various forms of #rock , from melodic death all the way to indie rock. But post-rock/metal and dream pop especially.
You can safely skip the first 45 minutes of this movie. It's the most clichéd Dead Poets / Breakfast Club nonsense I've seen in quite some time. As for the rest? Well… it is shot on film with a unusual aspect ratio. So, you know, that's cool... There's also lots of ✨acting✨ and quirky camera […]

The only problem (or the good thing?) is that both sides of the political spectrum will see themselves as the heroes.
A breath of fresh air in terms of cinematic innovation, aesthetics, and content. Yorgos Lanthimos directs and co-writes this film with Tony McNamara, providing numerous moments of entertainment while also provoking thought.

Really fun riff on the satanic panic wonderfully set on a fictional 1970s late night talk show. I had a blast watching this film. The set design and the talk show are so fun I wanted to be able to watch episodes of the show.
