there are too many bette davis performances to choose from

its the starting by dragging people for liking loud performances just to praise one of the most effortful and overdone performances of the year for me

maggie cheung in center stage

hm: judy holliday (bells are ringing), ayako wakao (a wife confesses), isabelle huppert (malina), michel piccolo (la belle noiseuse), jeremie renier (l’enfant), katharine hepburn (summertime) and cary grant (bringing up baby)

i really really really hated this. completely loses its focus after the first 30 minutes. lacks any kind of insight and comes to an extremely predictable conclusion that literally everyone should have known from the moment they read the plot of the film. the score doesn’t help, so melodramatic and overbearing, it basically tells you how to feel a…[Read more]

judas and the black messiah is obviously not a lock for anything

well… i deserved that

since we are randomly dragging actresses i will just say that bette davis kinda had no talent

why did this take such a turn? i think loden definitely saw the film and was just saying the ending of the film not being really crowd pleasing can hurt carey’s chances.

idk why we are discussing andra day now.

while the final scene of the film isn’t sad, the last act as a whole is pretty hard to watch

ohhh lots of these films are still on my watchlist, i still haven’t taken the time to watch a lot of 2020 releases but my favorites would probably be metamorphosis of birds, wolfwalkers, black bear and never rarely sometimes always 

it was widely predicted for a bp nomination in 2018

i hope you dont mind me asking but what is your 2020 top 10 films currently?

how would you rank them?
