It's too brief and amiable to give offense, but the reviews I've read that praise her attention to the working class don't mention how touristic the approach― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, October 12, 2017

Very rarely think of this film since I saw it, except for how loud it was.

P sure I voted for both Mother! and Sacred Deer - and yes, enjoyed as black comedies and as sidewise horror movies.
120 BPM will be high in my 2018 poll - it was on at the Glasgow Film Theatre for a week or so earlier this year, so I'm guessing it got a similar run at most major UK arthouses.
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 26 July 2018 19:02 (five years ago) link
our Joel made a compelling case to me for Dunkirk being the least terrible Nolan film and not without merit. poll scores are fucking silly, obv.

Every time a critically lauded film I don't like very much appears in these results I think we've got all those out of the way and then another one appears. I don't include Dunkirk in this.

rewatched Nocturama last weekend; very dumb interpretations in some corners of the media. had it #4

I loved Nocturama, it reminded me of Bresson and was sexy and cool as fuck, and was bringing down capitalism.. so much to love!

Killing Deer one was not my favourite 2017 film about deer, but I still really liked it. Given how much I loathed the Lobster, I expected nothing from it but it fell apart excellently.

It was boring and turgid but the music and the look of the film were amazing. A lot of cool ideas that went nowhere in the end and yes I know it was a sci-fi movie but jaysus it was daft. Lacking any too intensity tbh. I've yet to see a Denis Villeneuve film that hasn't bored me yet.― Michael B, 6 October 2017

Listened to the score today - haven't seen the film - and it's exactly what I expected : a very precise, very loud pastiche of Vangelis' og score. A hack copy, if you will.― Capitaine Jay Vee, 7 October 2017
