Walter Chaw's year-end list is always a great read, no matter how seriously you can take a list that includes Terminator: Dark Fate and The Kid Who Would Be King but no Uncut Gems or Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

I've seen a number of serious critics who dislike the latter two

however, his #1 "group" includes Her Smell, High Life, and ye gods, An Elephant Sitting Still, plus the Tarantella, so you can't do much worse than that.

for a long film I thought An Elephant Sitting Still was mesmerizing
― Dan S, Thursday, 2 January 2020 04:01 (six years ago)
the quietness and overwhelming grayness and emptiness of tone, long hypnotic circling tracking shots, shunning of the most violent elements of the story, specific blurring or highlighting of background images, grim determination of characters, subtly hopeful ending - it was all so hypnotic and beautiful
― Dan S, Thursday, 2 January 2020 04:06 (six years ago)
I disagree in every particular; found it just overwhelmingly dreary
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 2 January 2020 04:17 (six years ago)
I can see not liking it but thought it was so unusual
― Dan S, Thursday, 2 January 2020 04:26 (six years ago)
wouldn't have thought that such a constantly moving camera could be that subduing, but it really drew me in
― Dan S, Thursday, 2 January 2020 04:40 (six years ago)
honestly gun to my head you could erase every Tarantino movie except Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and I would feel a mild sadness but it would be an easy choice
Don't trash movies you haven't seen

Get rid of Jackie Brown over my dead body.

Elephant Sitting Still was one of those movies I will never watch again but it was definitely a memorable experience.

Jackie Brown was the last good thing i saw from him, and it is overrated.

Wow, would not have expected a Tommy Lee Jones western to have tons of overcranked, reckless in-camera stuntwork F/X but sure let's give it a try!

OTOH, i am here for any love for Seidl's Paradise Trilogy which i consider HIGHLY underrated
i dunno about hard to be a god being underrated (i think it's universally beloved?) but it was one of the more hallucinatory experiences i've ever had in a theater.
Still need to see Capernaumwill add Homesman and Ingrid Goes West to the watch listgonna continue passing on The Bad Batch

Alex Ross Perry picking Hard to be a God reminded me that I was thinking about it the other day - itβs really stayed with me in a way that would suggest I enjoyed it a lot more than I did. I only watched it once, I should give it another watch; I have it on dvd.
