add another +. SENTIMENTAL VALUE kicked my ass this afternoon.
Leaving the theater after Sentimental Value, I overheard someone say “that should be illegal. What we just experienced should be illegal.” Guess it’s possible they were talking about something else entirely, but I’m pretty sure it was in reference to the Extreme Emotional Overwhelm. A++.

didn’t think i needed to say this, but maybe i do: if you’re planning to see the film, DO NOT WATCH THIS.
it is insanity to me see folks here going “oh! maybe i should check it out now!”
tf is wrong with you??? 😳

PTA shut down production and ballooned the budget on this movie so he could cast Benicio del Toro, and the very first shot of him instantly proves it was worth it

what i’ve been waiting for. still recommend seeing it in theaters if you haven’t already.
Though One Battle After Another, the massively acclaimed and Oscar-contending Paul Thomas Anderson film, is still going strong in theaters, it will also become available for at-home viewing this week, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively report.

HEDDA: Nia DaCosta is stealthily one of the most interesting working filmmakers. That Gatsby-like hypnosis of high society is on display—sampling Babylon and Saltburn of late—in a thrilling Hedda Gabler adaptation. Tessa Thompson is sublime; elegance and excess are an intoxicating cocktail.

tiniest release everrrrr. i think it was only at the lower manhattan alamo in NYC? saw it twice there. beautiful on the big screen.
Hedda definitely looked like a movie meant for the big screen. Looks like I missed it and it’s already swallowed by streaming but just seeing the trailers very baffled that wouldn’t be a theatrical release

not bad at all! start with EDDINGTON and end with OBAA.
How bad of an idea would it be for me to watch a triple feature of Eddington, One Battle After Another, and Bugonia

listen here, when ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER comes out on streaming, ima need you to watch it too. even with the complicated feelings i have about it and you undoubtedly will too.
to me, SINNERS, SUPERMAN, and OBAA are the consequential films of the year, and i can’t really be convinced otherwise.

Hello, I’m Saeed and I’d like to recommend a great movie to watch.
“Hedda” starring Tessa Thompson, directed by Nia DiCosta.
If you love dangerous queer women, big parties and even bigger scandals, this adaption is for you.
You’re welcome.
