nominated for 11 oscars


i'm kinda looking forward to this, if it received that many oscar nominations

Youtube video

i always like Willem Dafoe anyway, same goes for Emma Stone



fun fact about the director Yorgos Lanthimos (in his early career days, he was a director for greek popstar Sakis Rouvas his music videos, and now he has a oscar nomination for best director)

its on Disney now

…did you watch it, Nicky…?..it would be nice to have a little review from you when/if you do…I don’t have Disney Plus atm but for me, I think that it’s going to be one of those movies that I put off and put off and put off etc watching because it’s not really appealing…but then when I do watch it…?…I’ll, think….ahhhhhh, why did I not watch it before and maybe love it….

[Niamh.]

I watched half of it (I had to turn it off because I had to do something and I just haven't gotten round to watching the 2nd half yet) It's a very odd film, I'm not sure what to make of it yet. I won't review it until I finish it though

[Ammi]

…but the half you saw did make you think that you’ll continue watching, though…?….there are a few highly acclaimed/award nominated and winning films that I’ve thought…hmmmm, no….but then eventually watched and sometimes like very much…others, not so much, though…it could go either way…

…Mark Ruffalo is one of my favourite actors, though…

Yeah just out of curiosity more than anything else, but it was a few weeks ago since I watched the 1st and I haven't rushed back to finish it either.......make of that what you will.

Speaking of Oscar movies, I watched the start of Maestro and turned it off after about 5 minutes

…I’m just looking at the ones that I’d probably like to see now…El Conde actually streaming on Netflix …I did have it to suggest but then wasn’t sure if it was subtitled and whether that would be ok…Anatomy of a Fall, I think I’d like to watch…The Zone of Interest, The Creator and The Eternal Memory…I think that might be another subtitled non-English language but I’m not sure…also Nyad, I think is streaming on either Netflix or Prime, so maybe that should go on the watch list…it’s two fine actresses, It’s just not what I’ve wanted to watch at the times I’ve looked at it…

I haven't seen any of those either, same about Nyad, it's probably good and i love Jodie Foster, those biopic ones always turn me off though

[Nicky91]

its production company Searchlight is one of quite good quality too btw

same one also behind other highly praised films such as

Nomadland
Three Billboards Over Ebbing, Missouri
The Descendants
Black Swan
12 Years a Slave
The Shape of Water
The Favourite
Little Miss Sunshine
The Wrestler

[Nicky91]

seen it last night


My Review

it's very weird, quirky, a ''frankenstein'' vibe (in a very good way) and I LOVED every second of it

the sex scenes well nothing i haven't seen before in shows like Game of Thrones for example which i call HBO moments


the scenery also made it feel like a fairytale, such beautiful filming work & visuals production


Emma Stone very very deserving best actress oscar winner worldclass performance, but tbh i also had expectations from her, since we also know her from slayage acting performances in Cruella, La La Land, and as ''Gwen Stacy'' in Amazing Spiderman


Willem Dafoe quite some funny scenes with him too

Spoiler:

like how he has to create his own stomach acid with creating bubbles out of his mouth

Mark Ruffalo's character also well played



my score 9.5 very deserving of all these oscar nominations, and music wise, its kinda similar to same music used in The Favourite (also directed by Lanthimos btw)


i recommend this to other people yes, its quite a experience to watch

[Ammi]

…9.5 is some high rating, Nicky…I’ll probably give it a little look on that recommendation…when I can stream for free, that is…

i'm not one to easily give high ratings to oscar nominee films tbh


but yeah very well made film, i also love the black/white scenes (equally as much as in Werewolf By Night, it really enhances that classic feeling)

[Nicky91]

Spoiler:

Felicity character actress, Andie Macdowell's daughter Margaret Qualley, whom was also in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

&

Spoiler:
