storytelling beats were abrupt, even rushed (it's a comic)

turns out that comic book movies can work if they actually look and think like comic books

I enjoyed this but it wasnt amazing or anything. Not as good as Dogtooth or The Lobster but much better than Sacred Deer (which I hated)The dialogue could have been a bit sharper though. It leaned a bit too heavily on actors in aristocratic clothing saying "cunt" for comic effect― Michael B, Thursday, January 10, 2019

This was what I was hoping Phantom Thread would be, the difference being that I actually wanted to hang around these characters. Loved the economy of the screenwriting within the lavish setting.― Eazy, Sunday, March 3, 2019

not sure if "a tip o' the cup" is an expression or not
if the cup is coming off your head it seems to make sense :p

why would you tip a cup, are you trying to spill it all over somebody

I kinda feel other films might have had at least one line of dialogue earlier to set up that he has access to a forge, an interest in crafting weapons or something...The fact that he wordlessly feels he has to craft his own weapon pulls this deep into some Joseph Cambell/Odysseus/Descent into the underworld headspace.― Hamildan, Tuesday, October 30, 2018

too low! a sumptuous delight to the senses. as i just said on its own thread, "it's a movie about music, art, fiction and movies and how they save us". cosmatos is a genius of cultural reappropriation

there were animals or animal sounds in almost every scene, including the llama and especially the horse on the beach who turned slowly around and looked directly at the camera just before the most shocking scene
