Raul F. @RJF1968 Nov 10 I finally got around to seeing this one. Loved Looper, The Last Jedi, and both Knives Out, but this one wasn't my cuppa tea. I'm glad Rian Johnson found his sense of humor after he made Brick. See more Blu B Jul 19 All Time Classic. You can see the love for the Noir's of old all over this. Every single trope/cliche of the genre is on full display here and done with a completely fresh take. It gives me a lot of respect for the high school subgenre in terms of it doesn't have to just be coming of age stories. But it can be fertile ground for pretty much every type of movie genre. The cinematography is low budget but it ends up being moody and very atmospheric. Lots of night, early morning shots, and the soundtrack all just work so well together. It somehow manages to capture that smokey rooms black and white vibe while being set in a 2000's west coast high school and not feeling out of place at all. That's insane and one heck of an accomplishment. The acting of high school students acting like Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum and Lauren Bacall doesn't feel odd at all. And the dialouge is so good too. Yeah you really have to pay attention and is very complex compared to any other teen comedy but the reward is so immersive and ice cold. First rate all around. Everyone should give this a try once.

The film itself was sci-fi horror genre. I would give it a 7 out of ten for ingenuity. The plot was formulaic, but it was worth a watch. See more Adam M @Desmondia Jul 1 Literally every bad user review is straight up wrong. I legit rarely ever say that about taste since taste is subjective but in this case it’s absolutely true. Bitter star wars “fans” and entitled gen zers abound in those comments and they are, as usual, absolutely incorrect. The film is clever, smart, super well written and a fantastic effort for someone’s very first feature film. A classic indie of the best indie film making era complete with one of the better actors of that generation. Masterclass in how to take an otherwise dull setting and find the art and life in it. See more THE NASHVILLE I @Nshvlleindie Jun 13 Definitely feels like watching a brick. Johnson tries so hard to make this feel noir, but the lack of energy and character just kills this movie. It drags…like a brick. The actors are like mannequins, and the story’s just too unfocused and mundane. See more Read all reviews
