what are your 3 favorite movies of 2019 so far?

it’s fuckin great

as I said in the arthouse thread, I was relieved that there was only one Risible Feminism scene (yeah, the one with the baby on the maid's face)

I liked POALOF, but I was disappointed. Probably the ~10 month wait since Cannes, nothing but raves. Very pretty but to me it was dead, not moving at all, never romantic. But it's obviously there on some frequency, it just didn't hit me. I was going to say something about how predictable and boring the actual arc was and how cliched it was at points, but you could say the same of Carol, which actually did sweep me up and move me in a way where I forgot where I was. That was what I was expecting with this movie.

i thought as i watched it “oh maybe this isn’t affecting me as much as i expected” and then it would reliably do something that dragged me further in

“risible feminism” smh

I don't get what they have in common other than lesbianism, but I'll bite: Carol moved me far less.

yes Brad, every single ideology has risible manifestations, regardless of its merit

which thread, Morbs?

Never Coming to a Theater Near You - Arthouse Cinema 2020

the abortion subplot is one of the best things about the freaking movie

i still can’t decipher what you find risible about it or that scene, just that you find it risible

the baby's presence

i'm not saying anymore bcz there's no path to victory
