hell yeah, hearing great things

 

Can't wait to see this. The book is so good.

 

Masterpiece

 

Completely floored me

 

need to see this

 

really want to catch this

 

one of the best all of last year. hard not to sound hyperbolic to those who haven't watched, but this flattened me. first time in a while where i sat through the credits due to the impact

 

Really want to see this but not playing much by me.

 

“will have to score big oscar nom-noms”

what a prick

 

Reverse Shot's number one film of the year.

 

Seeing this tonight

 

I know this is going to be great but the first-person thing brings up the nightmare that was Hardcore Henry.

 

Hardcore Henry was fun

 

This was phenomenal

 

Can’t stop thinking about this. Truly brilliant camerawork, unbelievable score and soundtrack (shout out to Alex Somers, and the Mulatu Astatke needle-drop at the end), profoundly moving story, and images that will stick with me. And the moment all the dots connected was pure cinema magic—not a lot of people were in the theater but I guarantee we were all either crying or misty-eyed at that point.

 

I like that the Uncle Tom cop looks exactly like Eric Adams

 

Prime video when?

 

This is def the kind of thing you want to catch in a theater

 

I’m sure that’s true but if I went to the theater today I would probably catch Nosferatu or The Substance first. Trying to play catchup
