The visuals was good. But the whole pretencious plot was fucking awful. It's for the stupid women like my friends' wife who loved it.
Actually Revenant was better and had drama. Birdman had nothing except useless dialogs. Hell, even Tarantinos' dialogs are perfection if you compare them to Birdmans'.

This is the only Lynch movie that when it ended...I started it again. And it is the longest fucking Lynch movie.

I wouldn't consider myself a Lynch fanboy, but he does some interesting stuff. This one just shattered me, and I know that there's not much meaning behind it...don't care.

Also, nothing on here has been as atrocious as The Doom Generation (1995).

>>71758711
I think Love is a polarizing movie because it's very clearly about memory and as such heavily relies on the viewer having had some past intense physical relation that maintains a kind of permanent, lingering presence in their mind and body.

In short, it's about trying to get over the best, most charged (both physically and emotionally) sex you've ever had. If you've never been there and had to move past it, chances are the movie won't do much for you. If you have, it fucking nails it,

Spotlight.
Nothing but reporters lionizing themselves for uncovering what had been common knowledge for decades. The "Mark-Ruffalo-is-crying-and-conflicted" scene made me rage to an extent beyond what I thought was possible. Lady reporter also has to struggle with how her mom reacts to the news. Such tragedy.
The movie ends with these heroes enormous self-sacrifice; they all have to answer the phones. I though it was pretty telling that the scene, the one real chance in the movie to drive home the experience of the victims, removes their agency in favor of the newsteam.
