Haven't seen it but I wouldn't be surprised. Read the first chapter of the book a while back and it's killer but the potential traps in adapting it are already obvious. -
Logan's script is the weakest thing about it.
-
I wouldn't say there are any leads in Star Wars tbh. Maybe Ridley and even that's debatable.
-
Oh yeah no Hammer and Stuhlbarg either. Everyone keeps nominating the supporting actor duos from the wrong movies.
-
Mudbound cinematography is perfectly fine but nothing about it stood out to me. Don't get all the acclaim
-
Now we're getting Call Me by Your Name snubs. At least Lost City of Z made it in here.
-
Totally voting for A Ghost Story in that one.
-
As usual it seems most people just saw the same eight movies last year.
-
Good Time snub in score is the worst yet.
-
Idk if the studios would have chased this so aggressively and been willing to throw a 100m budget at it in that case, even with the names attached. Who knows. We seriously need to just wait and see.
-
I'm glad I had the experience of accidentally coming across Wild Things on TV late at night around that age. Though I gotta give more credit to Denise than to Neve tbh
-
I wonder if Mathieu Amalric is relieved or bummed. Whatever this ends up being it's gonna be truly fascinating.

All about Paul Verhoeven's lesbian nun movie.

Taika needs to give them their own What We Do in the Shadows type documentary.
-
I still haven't seen this.
-
I didn't think Pink was that old.
-
Love me some Toni Collette. Great to see her in a lead role in an acclaimed genre movie. Gabriel Byrne hasn't really had anything significant in a long time either, except for Louder Than Bombs.
-
I'd love it if this were revealed to be 3 hours long.
-
Isle of Dogs, Lean on Pete
-
She made my ballot. Granted it's largely because I still haven't seen (in most cases haven't had any chance to see) Lady Bird/Florida Project/Phantom Thread/Billboards/I Tonya/Shape of Water, but it's very nice work that was harder to do than it might seem. Rothe should have a bright future.

A Quiet Passion, Personal Shopper, Okja, Raw, The Beguiled, Happy Death Day

Seems like creating awareness is their big issue. Did anyone even know this was expanding wide on the 19th until a few days before that? Looking at how their movies always expand and how much their PTAs drop it's like they just take it for granted that interest is there and don't do any work in trying to increase and sustain it.

The Foreigner is my favorite followed by Good Time.
-
Not to mention it was right against Phantom Thread which was hotter and buzzier and went down after exactly the same audience in the same amount of theaters. This is like a textbook example of how not to roll out your hugely acclaimed awards season prestige movie.
