only way to fix it's lack of Kubrick is to get it remade by spielberg, with a 45-minute coda about her quest to become a real girl

She picked up a total ned, that is comedy.

But I think this film would have done fine without humour. Don't see why it would need it.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 23 January 2015 15:39 (nine years ago) link
I don't think anyone is actually advocating for the injection of humor into the film, Robert

i said it seemed like a blu-ray film b/c it's so DARK (literally--lots of black) and blacks come across better in HD

this isn't available on Blu-Ray at the video store, and it seems like a Blu-Ray (as opposed to DVD) kind of movie. how should I see this?

whoa
this was great
um, i uh
being a visible self is hard eh. also she felt like less predator, more...end-point
legit horror movie. the bit with the men trapped underwater was possibly the most startling thing i've seen in years if not ever
glazer doesn't so much have a style as have every style almost effortlessly at his disposal
the score was quite astonishing
scar-jo spoon-jar confusion got a laugh, just like that
uh
this felt complex, progressive, daring and genuinely menacing. also felt like the film glazer's been wanting to make the whole time
those reviews c&pd upthread are deeply and almost frighteningly stupid

If I would have watched this as a kid, I would have been terrified.

Dang, everyone's so weepy about the baby scene! Maybe someone came by and saved the baby!
I thought this, but the SJ character hears on the radio that a man's body was found and the mother and child are missing and they've called off the search 'cos of fog, which seemed like an unnecessarily cruel bit of info.
― Ned Trifle X, Friday, 6 September 2019 22:15 (five years ago) link
One of the few films I've been majorly excited about that actually exceeded my hopes - that opening sequence blew my mind and there's not a wasted frame after that.

beach scene was very tough to take. kinda stunned that someone called it "hilarious" upthread, unless that was supposed to be a joke.
