Movie culture reached a turning point in 2021 where the glut of content, streaming or in theaters, overwhelmed concerns about quality, craft, and the destructive messages being sold to us.

Every Better-Than choice offers alternatives to deceit, ineptitude, and nihilism.About Endlessness > Dune, The Green KnightRoy Andersson’s series of comic-tragic tableaux depict the modern Christian quest for salvation that is abandoned by Denis Villeneuve’s inexpressive sci-fi and David Lowery’s fractured mythology. Most sci-fi movies, like pseudo-myths, are about meaninglessness.Annette > West Side StoryLeos Carax’s ravishing existential opera addresses artistic crisis, that creative challenge that Steven Spielberg’s remake turns into no-hope social-justice platitudes.Coming 2 America > Judas and the Black MessiahEddie Murphy and Craig Brewer’s superior sequel hilariously corrects Hollywood’s fashionable, insulting race hustle. The year’s best Hollywood movie is a welcoming diaspora comedy.Shoplifters of the World > Licorice PizzaStephen Kijak’s tribute to The Smiths captures the inextinguishable flame of pop-culture fraternity, going deeper than Paul Thomas Anderson’s clever ’70s period piece.France > Drive My CarBruno Dumont’s media heroine reveals contemporary psychic turmoil while Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Chekhov imitation distracts from it.

The Hand of God was totally a Fellini homage, the big difference being the tragedy in the middle of the film, which was very understated
Most of the performances were voluble and very emotive, but Filippo Scotti as Fabietto, a teenager who becomes an adult over the course of the film, gave a subtle and fantastic performance

Knowing a "not his kind of movie" swept the critics awards, I had to see what the gargoyle JW was saying in NSFC's wake. Was not disappointed.
Drive My Car is a morose, slow-paced film about coping with grief and long-festering guilt (i.e., the trials and tribulations of grief monkeys). It’s strictly an art-house sauna movie for elite, ivory-tower critics — a respectable effort by any measure, but a movie that resides in its own cave and doesn’t begin to even try to capture or engage with or reflect anything about mainstream life in the years 2020 or ’21. It could have been made in 1957 or ’63 or ’86 or ’92.NextBestPicture‘s Matt Neglia recently had the temerity to suggest that Drive My Car, having won Best Picture trophies from NSFC, LAFCA and the NYFCC, is cut from the same cloth as Goodfellas, Schindler’s List, L.A. Confidential, The Hurt Locker, The Social Network and Spotlight. Neglia is one of those film nerd types who lives on his own planet, or, if you will, inside his own rectum. There’s no reasoning with guys like this.

I wish I knew what the point was of all this: the National Film Society of Critics voted Best Picture to “Drive My Car,” an almost three hour Japanese film that most people know nothing about. It’s a very good film, and a long one, but it was already named Best Picture by the New York and Los Angeles film critics groups. So what’s the point?Frankly, this was a big “f-you” to American and British filmmakers and films made in English. It was the same to the larger film going audience. The NSFC could have shaped the conversation about a group of films headed to the Oscars and struggling at the box office. But the message is “We’re so cool we don’t have to like anything you’re being offered.” So why should anyone bother going to theaters if the critics say forget it?I’m not talking about giving awards to blockbusters like “Spider Man” or “No Time to Die.” With good movies from Spielberg, Branagh, Campion, PTA, Joel Coen, Villeneuve, Miranda, Sorkin, not mention “CODA,” and so on, it’s kind of insulting to thumb your nose at your own business. (I’m not supposed to say this, but the film critics still don’t get if they don’t support the movie business, they will be out of jobs.)I know there’s a Film Twitter feeling that “Drive My Car” will be “Parasite,” win Best Picture and really up-end the film business. If that’s how the Oscars seem like they’re going, no one will watch the broadcast on March 27th. This is what’s happened to the Emmy Awards: the statues go to shows with small audiences, minuscule, no one watches the Emmys as a result. If the point is to make all this irrelevant, we’re headed in that direction very fast.

― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 9 January 2022 15:36 (two years ago) link
wish I knew what the point was of all this: the National Film Society of Critics voted Best Picture to “Drive My Car,” an almost three hour Japanese film that most people know nothing about. It’s a very good film, and a long one, but it was already named Best Picture by the New York and Los Angeles film critics groups. So what’s the point?
I thought the point was that the critics' group liked the movie.

Little of column A, little of column B ...
DRIVE MY CAR isn't my choice for movie of the year, but it's the perfect choice for movie of the year that will flummox people who think the role of critics awards is to shape the Oscars race.— A.A. Dowd (@AADowd) January 9, 2022
Theory about why Drive My Car gets critics'-group awards, look at critics' year-end lists, imagine the Venn diagram: it brings together various artistic tendencies that other films isolate. Not a consensus film by design but by accident.— Richard Brody (@tnyfrontrow) January 9, 2022

I know we're all ignoring the Golden Globes this year and, with mercy, from here on out.
BUT ... I also celebrate every time Belfast doesn't win.

The winners are unexpectedly...fine? I liked the Lucy film more than I expected, maybe Sorkin's best script? And Kidman did evoke the rather sour late middle-aged grand dame on '70s talk shows.
This may surprise you: I finished Tick on Saturday and, after surviving the first eight minutes, thought Garfield fine.

I don't blame Garfield. TTB is the worst of Jonathan Larsen + the worst of Lin-Manuel put together in a perfect shitstorm. Garfield is proper playing an annoying artiste.

BAFTA longlists ... the big scandal being that they completely ignored The Souvenir Part II. Oh, and pretty much any performances not in the English language.

CODA too.

I dislike BELFAST, TICK TICK BOOM and KING RICHARD more than CODA, but I at least understand the appeal the other three have over the cliche nothingness that is CODA.
― Max Hamburgers (Eric H.), Thursday, 27 January 2022 16:55 (two years ago) link
CODA was a conventional coming of age movie and was very clichéd, yes, but watching it felt like a relief from all of the dysphoria of 2021, and the story got to me in the end
Marlee Matlin, Daniel Durant and Emilia Jones and Troy Kotsur were all pretty great and the family seemed real
― Dan S, Friday, 28 January 2022 00:41 (two years ago) link
I saw it in August and wondered why the hell Matlin wasn't cast in other movies besides one in which she plays a Deaf mom. I would've loved her as Lucille Ball
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 28 January 2022 00:50 (two years ago) link
from what I've read Matlin made an effort to assemble the actors she wanted to work with in that film
