It took me being sick and half deposed to realize that this the most romantic film ever made and that all the critical focus on gaze and voyeurism is missing the actual structure of the film.
The windows display each fear Jeff has about what a relationship eventually becomes- The Writer is love disembodied, sublimated into work that form that never completes and the fear he represents is living adjacent to life rather than in it. Miss Lonelyheart is unrequited,…
It is difficult to rate a film like this. It isn’t “good” but it is enamoring and joyful as can be watched.
The monster is spectacular in both an ironic and sincere sense. Terrible in both applications of the word.
This is yet another film from what has proven, dare I say, by far to be the best and most diverse list on Letterboxd-

Idris Elba shamefully missed out on being the first Black Bond, but his mustache here qualifies him to be the first Black Mario.

Son approved, Power of Grayskull initiated.
Awesome movie (except for the resolution around the crime itself, which I didn't care about at all).
Mike D'Angelo's review focused on how he figured out who did it. Good job Mike. You quickly solved a children's mystery. You've certainly earned that Letterboxd following.
God help us.
See Sheep Detectives.
Japanese culture is spectacular in its inventiveness, expression and values. Its cultural exports maybe my overall favorite expression of collective identity.

Epic.
Well, I made it through 18 minutes of this trash at which point I could no longer swallow my frustration. Given the risk of me yelling obscenities next to my sleeping family, I will have to try and revisit this later.
Did Disney buy this property? Are we being trolled by Mickey? Is The Mouse some kind of Dadaists corporate pirate using obscene wealth to prove that nothing can resist the reach of monetization? Is this some kind of anti-capitalist…
