All this Oscar talk isn’t quite as bad as when an MCU movie would come out with glowing reviews and fanboys would earnestly discuss best picture chances… but it’s not far off. Let’s talk again in ten months.
Huh, surprised at One Love. In a genre that’s almost exclusively terrible it still managed to seem especially bad, but clearly there was an audience who was going to turn up regardless.
Hysterical pre-review reactions seem par for the course now but despite that I can see how the first, as absorbing as it was, left headroom for improvement. The move to March now seems fortuitous - people haven’t had a big cinema experience for a while.
