https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/how-oscar-race-became-a-referendum-netflix-1160629
Some Academy skeptics are railing against Netflix's reliance on four-walling, a strategy akin to self-publishing in the cinema world, in which a distributor pays theater owners for the privilege of screening to the general public, rather than booking a theater and sharing a percentage of the gross. By four-walling, Netflix removes the burden of revealing any unfavorable box office numbers, a privilege none of the other companies releasing their best picture contenders the traditional way will enjoy. If Netflix secures a best picture nomination for Roma based strictly on these purchased screenings, multiple knowledgeable sources say they believe the film will become the first ever four-walled movie to do so in the modern era.

Wondering if #13 is the worst showing for an editorial poll #1 in reader poll history.

Well! What do you think of my elegant new screenname?

Not a bad list really
The Film Comment poll was also the best of the critics’ polls this year I thought

I caught Capernaum today with my Mom - I can definitely see why some hate it but Labaki's facility with her young actors is just too good for me to be too mad about the schmaltz, which also wasn't nearly as over-the-top as I was expecting. plenty of consensus "classics" are way more overwrought, and most of the more upsetting events were elided. Rami Malek oughta send that kid his Oscar.

I will say that if you instinctively recoil against sentiment or melodrama it is Not For You
also the "very stupid" Denis film was much more enjoyable to me than Let the Sunshine In

"esp given FC's cover story on the new, very stupid Denis/Pattinson/Binoche film"
I was wondering about that. I've heard good things about it
although I did really like Let the Sunshine In

I found LTSS mysteriously irritating, the only Denis film I feel this way about (though L'Intrus went over my head and White Material kinda bored me)
― Simon H., Thursday, 4 April 2019 02:45 (five years ago) link
ditto on those last two, and Bastards didn't do much either
I thought LTSS was a scream, and much more accurate about men than some of the nitwit American [redacted]ism of the last 10 years.

I can't read some of the thinkpieces on High Life w/out suspecting a prank is being played on me

Accurate =/= compelling, idk it had some chuckles and the late Depardieu appearance was intriguingly off-kilter but the whole thing just felt pointless, much like dating itself, which is some kind of accomplishment but not one that felt worthwhile to me
― Simon H., Thursday, 4 April 2019 02:56 (five years ago) link
L'intrus was for me the most out there of all of her films, really didn't get it. White Material was also somewhat mysterious, after seeing it twice I'm still not sure I understand what it was really about.
Let the Sunshine felt like something familiar, about someone trying but unable to make a connection, struggling to realize that maybe it doesn't matter

LTSS is a great (unintentional?) parody of movies like The Bucket List

the whole thing just felt pointless
it's been at least 6 months since i "paused" Twin Peaks...

heh -- some of Denis' early '00s films were more annoying than LTSI.

I was going to say the advertising materials for LTSI are crucial to understanding what it's making fun of, but then I remembered what the poster for Certified Copy looks like:

L'intrus made Twin Peaks: The Return seem pretty straightforward to me.

feels to me like Burning and Shoplifters were the two of the most amazing films of 2018
― Dan S, Saturday, 6 April 2019 03:29 (five years ago) link
I count Zama as 2017
eventually saw it twice, think it is by far my favorite film of the last couple of years

re: the 2018 films shot in 35mm, I really wanted to like Vox Lux (score by Scott Walker!) but I thought is was terrible, particularly Natalie Portman's performance
― Dan S, Tuesday, 21 May 2019 00:27 (four years ago) link
prob my least favorite movie of 2018 next to Proud Mary

yeah it was awful

the only thing I liked was that they ran the entire credits ~15 minutes in, but they play again at the end... stupid
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 21 May 2019 04:10 (four years ago) link
but interestingly the credits ran backwards at the end
there were a lot of visual components of this I liked
