I first got introduced to this film ten years ago, first by Wall-E, of course, and also since it was my school's high school play (which I naturally did not participate in but which my English teacher was responsible for directing). I love how colourful this film is and how it captures the gentleness and gentility of that era. Not unexpectedly for musical theatre, two of the young male leads were homosexuals...
Also surprisingly religious in its symbolism, imagery and themes. Not the straightforward Marxist fairytale I thought it would be. Inded, it is asentimental (not to say moralistic) plea for class reconciliation rather than class warfare. Only ten years on but it's so much more visually and technically impressive than Birth of a Nation, which I also watched recently. The use of lighting and of body...
This movie was incredible and really pulled at my heart strings with such a beautiful ending. I almost feel some sort of emotional attachment to the movie and a sense of relatability. I loved the way everything came together, bonus ++ everyone's white! I just love the message behind it, "stop running away." You can't truly live if you're constantly running away, especially from love. Not to be a cheesy...

I not only don’t see the feminist subtext in The Substance, I reject it entirely because to look at it through a feminist lens leaves you without a solution.

Another case of a lazy horror film with painfully obvious woke allegories. Some Asian girl has trouble assimilating and loses her mind in the process. The movie blames Whites for being more attractive and pretends ads still have attractive Whites in them. Unrealistic beauty standards, eurocentric, you know the drill. It wasn't scary and you hate every character. Anyone White is an evil sociopath or...
In what some may say is a classic example of phycological projection, Ali Abbasi, the director of the anti-Trump film, "The Apprentice" -- which features a scene depicting the 45th and 47th president...
Let's start with what I liked: The kleptomaniac/compulsive-fraudster housewife concept is great and this film is THE place for her. That's about it. So they made an "Ocean's" movie without Ocean in it, featuring an all-female cast. It pans out exactly as you expect. The actresses try to mimic the dynamics of the Ocean's cast, but they can't really pull it off. Writer was too lazy/incompetent to come...
