These are all good points. I'm just reporting my girlfriend's visceral response. I do think that if you're going to do a narrative about someone who survived abuse, having their response to trauma lead to their death isn't the greatest choice.
Enjoyed this a good amount. Stylistically feels like Wright's most conventional effort, but it also felt like his heaviest thematically. Was not expecting it to dip into horror as much as it did. Soundtrack was aces.
Man, the main character was a dummy. I think this fell apart at the back half. Loved the stuff from the past tho.
I’m not sure how this translated to home vs. theatre, but the movie is intentionally in mono sound up until she steps out into the 60’s London street for the first time , in which the surround kicks in and “you’re my world” does blast pretty loud.
Really long in the tooth at some points. At times I was fully engrossed, fully engaged and was feeling like this was gonna be a special film. It definitely looks special. But then there were times I felt bored, the movie got redundant, a little very silly, and a movie that didn't commit to any 1 or 2 ideas. A lot of filler that didn't add any emotional depth or anything, just filler. The old man "twist".. eh. She wasn't in trouble for almost stabbing that other girl? Idk. The ending didn't hit me like I'm sure they thought it would. Wrights stuff since pilgrim hasn't really stuck with me. I didn't love worlds end or baby driver and I think this is in that same category. Hes a talented guy and his movies are always very good, I just didn't think this landed the way it was meant to
Happy to see more Bryan Lee O’Malley getting adapted (Snotgirl next, please?), and cool that Edgar Wright is involved.
