One of the best breakup movies in recent memory. Also one of the most brutal. Unrelenting in its portrayal of our desperation in the face of abandonment. We’ll mutilate ourselves beyond recognition if it means having things our way, leaving us with nothing but a pathetic “I told you so”. But who even is “I” at that point? Who is “you”?
Probably MacDonagh’s opus to me. Fascinating to see someone whose work I have generally thought of as bitter, cynical, and spiteful (in a clever and entertaining way) confront the way that bitterness, cynicism, and spite isolate and destroy people by deadening the things that kept their kindness afloat. And it’s so funny!! Everyone involved is at the top of their game but I’m particularly impressed by Colin Farrell. I don’t know how or why he looks so different here than he usually does but it accentuates his dopiness and sadness in a way that really makes you pity him, until you’re no longer fully meant to (at which point you sort of see the Farrell we’ve seen for years.)
this is the first movie i’ve shown my dad in a long time that he didn’t fall asleep to, which is such an achievement that i might make it my movie of the year. gets better every rewatch, don’t honestly know what is holding it back at all which is why i had to bump it all the way up. i notice a new detail every viewing; i only just this time saw that when colm is standing on the beach in the first hour, he’s standing on the foot tracks of the man who walked into the water the night before, which is a crazy image. the score didn’t really do much for me my first time but i’ve grown…
