I will be mercilessly “spoiling” in the following “vampirological” film review, otherwise it would bore me a bit to write it. I have long been looking forward to Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, the...

I read Pareidoliac's review only after seeing the film. Idk, I really liked it and didn't think of the feminist stuff until reading that review. To me, I interpreted it as historical accuracy when the men were belittling her and telling her to know her place. That's why I like Eggers, because of course it's surrealist in some ways and he takes some big creative leaps so it's not actually historically...
I really liked BODIES BODIES BODIES but I didn't think BABYGIRL, by the same director, worked the first time I watched it, so I decided to watch again before reviewing.

This new movie Babygirl is so bad that I’ve now heard two different film podcasts try to argue it’s a comedy in disguise—presumably because the podcasters want to believe the giggles it induces are...

It's probably redundant to say there's too much sex in this movie, since it's basically a softcore jackoff vehicle. However, one shouldn't rush to conclusions about the quality of such works. For example, Poison Ivy stands as one of the greatest thrillers of all time, yet is frequently confused for a titty flick, a misconception wholly unaided by the direct-to-video sequels that sullied the good name...

Sometimes, happenstance works out for the best. Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu will be the last movie I see in theaters in 2024, and it’s a spectacular way to close out the year in film, if not particularly...

I enjoyed this more than some Dracula adaptations. Decently-paced throughout, with typical Eggers style but an unfortunately high amount of jumpscares. I couldn't detect much agenda other than some feminist overtures (recurrent themes of men doubting the female lead, and depictions of confining corsets), but there could be some buried subversive themes

I wanted to watch this film, because I got the impression this might be a critique about feminism, bonus was that this is a (very loose) adaption of Alice in Wonderland, which goes well with my previous film, alas it's really none of these. Nope, it's just a surreal French art-house flick about a girls journey into puberty, which is fairly obvious, the battle of the sexes, the unicorn, the symbolism...
