Saw it in the theatre, didn't think much of it.
>>71974848
Love this movie, of course it will get shit on by /tv/
JGL's only good movie
Too full of itself and pretentious (while not living up to its pretense) dialog. Monotonous acting by all involved. Good composition but that can't save a movie. A little embarrassing that so many teens look up to it

The dialogue/acting style was meant to be remincent of classic 40s noir
That's all the movie is. Classic noir set in a modern american highschool. And it does that pretty well I think
That film was fantastic.

Not bad for a meme flick.
>>71974959
Yeah guess what we fucking get it. It's a hommage, wow. It's a love letter oh yeah baby a love letter to noir films woo!
That's not a shortcut to making a good movie. Even if you have a poster of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid in your room, you still have to make a compelling story and characters and nail an interesting dialog. The mystery was lukewarm and unengaging. The ending sucked.

I disagree on every point
>>71974848
Caught it on SBS late at night once, it's pretty good.
>>71975158
>that's all the film is
And it still has to be a good film after all, no leniency should be given because 'reminiscent'
>>71975185
And I'm saying that there wasn't. The characters were intriguing, the mystery was suspenseful, the twists where jarring, overall a great film. I wasn't trying to say it's allowed to be somehow worse just because it's a homage, I was just justifying the strange dialogue (which put me off at first, too.)
>>71974848
Needs to be seen several times or with subtitles - the 'slang' is atrocious and incomprehensible.
>>71974848
THE OLD TIMEY DIALOGUE WAS CRINGECITY DADDY-O
NEO NOIR RARELY WORKS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DONE RETARDEDLY
Saw it a couple of months ago and it was awesome. It felt kind of anime in a way, not a bad way.
>>71974959
If that's true why do I love brick but hate literally every other noir movie out there
>>71975721
You're a pleb that can't stand anything that's not in full color?
>JGL
into the trash it goes
>lets set a noir in a high school and have that high school's drama club play all but one character
it might've been okay, but the horrid acting killed it.
>>71974848
My favourite fuckin movie of all time senpai.
>setting
>characters
>cinematography
>score and soundtrack (Sister Ray over the closing credits made me cum)
>borderline meme dialogue and acting that completely drew me in and couldn't get enough of
Also, Nora Zehetner is an all time qt. Shame she never got any bigger.
>>71976233
yeah wtf she was hot as fuck
she was in heroes at some point and that's it
