I'm surprised at that. they seemed like three guys that had somehow started hanging out with an art school bro since that look is what most of the art school boys in Glasgow seem to be striving for.

he just seemed more model-beautiful than the other mooks (who were "street cast"). You know the lead actor is a Brit, right?

i thought they were all good in it fwiw. the main guy was a good actor who was miscast imo.

Beach Rats disappointed me too because her last film -- which nailed the rhythms of courtship -- impressed me.

A Quiet Passion was the best film of 2016, but only award eligible this year.

Oh I do love it when we talk release date eligibility.

yes, Frederik doesn't get enough chances to be a supercilious dick.
The only rhythm of courtship that interests me is "Let's screw."

I wondering, is The Square's absence from the Sight and Sound list because the critics didn't like it or because it hasn't been widely enough seen?
― Dan S, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 06:14 (six years ago) link
The former, surely, since you have Zama/ Western/Faces Places at 4,5 and 6.
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Wednesday, 6 December 2017 10:44 (six years ago) link
I guess people are pissed about Twin Peaks turning up on these lists
― Number None, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 11:03 (six years ago) link
Cahiers du Cinema: Split? A little confused, real sore thumb in that list.
Simon H: I'm amazed at the Mudbound hype too. Solid but not spectacular in any way, and had a couple really poor sequences. The cockpit scene should have just been edited out if they didn't have the budget - it took me right out of the film. Given the subject matter and the buzz, I expected more of an emotional kick.
Maybe the sound team should get a nomination though because lord did I grimace at the sound of the leg re-break. Ugh.
― finlay (fionnland), Wednesday, 6 December 2017 11:04 (six years ago) link
The Square hasn't yet been released in the UK, which might partly account for its absence from the S&S poll in particular. But it also isn't very good.
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 11:05 (six years ago) link
The editor wrote in Sight & Sound that they'd actively encouraged those polled this year to vote for any moving pictures, not just cinema, so I guess that boosted Twin Peaks. Lol at Cahiers stanning for Split. Is it because he's an auteur?

Only one person in the printed edition gave Detroit a vote (haven't checked the online-only ballots). What a huge fall from grace. I thought it was terrific.
